What ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Building management settings that run the plant
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Hospitals and care homes
- Supply ductwork

- General extract ductwork
- Offices and schools
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Guston
Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. Common call-outs are for ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and ductwork with too few access panels to clean, on general extract ductwork, supply ductwork and grilles and diffusers.
Somewhere as small as Guston, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What happens if it’s left?
Smells, dust around grilles and stuffy rooms are signs the system needs attention. Dealing with them now stops them getting worse. In a small place like Guston, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

Different parts, different methods
Grilles and diffusers
Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. The grilles are cleaned and the ducts behind inspected.
Offices and retail
Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. A clean before handover is a sensible step.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.

When to call us in Guston
Many systems run for long hours, day after day, and every hour moves more dust through the ducts. The busier the building, the faster it builds up.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
School buildings such as Duke of York's Royal Military School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.
What to look for in a quote
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether they’re fully insured
- If they look at the system before pricing
Common questions in Guston
Can you clean school ventilation in Guston during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Guston. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you come to Guston after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Guston can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that covers general supply and extract ventilation, beyond the kitchen. It works on inspection and risk, and kitchen extract falls under TR19® Grease.
What if there are not enough access panels?
Accessible sections are cleaned and the others recorded. Extra access panels can solve it, and we can fit them.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
