How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Greenham
Dust in ventilation ductwork is not only a cleanliness issue. It can restrict airflow, make the system work harder and send dust back into occupied rooms. A clean puts the system back as it should be. The work covers hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and general extract ductwork, and people most often call us about construction dust left in ducts after a refit and ductwork with too few access panels to clean.
For a building in or near Greenham, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
Before any works, think about the ducts. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
What we are called out for in Greenham
Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Systems missing access panels
West Berkshire Community Hospital, about 1.5 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Greenham, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the price is fixed
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.

Ventilation duct cleaning in Greenham: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 5 schools, colleges and universities and about 11 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises with registered kitchens or food service in Greenham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. About 1.5 miles north-east of Greenham is West Berkshire Community Hospital, the nearest hospital. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients. At about 53 miles from central London, Greenham sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
For workplaces around Newbury Racecourse station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends. Classrooms and halls at schools such as The Willows Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

Greenham: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Greenham?
Yes. Greenham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can a school’s ventilation in Greenham be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Greenham. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What does TR19 Air cover?
TR19® Air deals with general ventilation, while TR19® Grease deals with kitchen extract. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
