About our ventilation duct cleaning in Hare Hatch
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that deals with general supply and extract ventilation. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so we look before we clean. The work covers supply ductwork, hospitals and care homes and general extract ductwork, and common reasons people get in touch are systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt.
Work in a small place like Hare Hatch starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. The timing of a visit to Hare Hatch is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Common problems we fix in Hare Hatch
Why does it matter?: dusty ducts can blow debris back into rooms, restrict airflow and make fans work harder. Where people are vulnerable, as in healthcare and care settings, the stakes are higher.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
For schools like Robert Piggott CofE Infant School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

What the work involves, part by part
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers are where the ducts meet the room. They’re cleaned along with the ductwork, so the room side matches the duct side.
Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. Clearing the duct helps the fan do its job.
Hare Hatch buildings and their air
Food Standards Agency data includes about 4 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hare Hatch. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. Hare Hatch’s nearest hospital, St Mark's Hospital, is about 4.7 miles north-east. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale. About 32 miles out from central London, Hare Hatch is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Hare Hatch
Can ventilation in schools around Hare Hatch be cleaned out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hare Hatch. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you come to Hare Hatch after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Hare Hatch doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What does TR19 Air cover?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. TR19® Air takes an inspection-led, risk-based approach.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Do you cover Hare Hatch?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Hare Hatch included.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 on a regular cycle.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hare Hatch
Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Skipping it leaves you guessing. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
