Advice
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Great Thorness
We cover Great Thorness and the rest of the Isle of Wight for ventilation duct cleaning, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. We are often asked to deal with duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning and blocked general extract ductwork, across general extract ductwork, offices and schools and supply ductwork.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What ventilation duct cleaning looks like in Great Thorness
St Mary's Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 2.8 miles south-east of Great Thorness. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like St Mary's Hospital (about 2.8 miles south-east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

What the work involves, part by part
Supply ductwork
We check supply ducts at intervals along each run to see where cleaning is needed.
Extract ductwork
Extract ducts take air out of toilets, washrooms and general areas. They collect dust, lint and fibres and slowly narrow.
What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Great Thorness?
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
In Great Thorness, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- If they look at the system before pricing
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether VAT is included
Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Great Thorness
Do you cover smaller places like Great Thorness?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Great Thorness included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can the work in Great Thorness be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Great Thorness doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What is TR19® Air?
TR19® Air deals with general ventilation, while TR19® Grease deals with kitchen extract. TR19® Air takes an inspection-led, risk-based approach.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What affects the quote in Great Thorness
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
