When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after photos. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, so you have it all on record. If you have dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected, we can help.

Questions from Headington Hill
Can you come to Headington Hill after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Headington Hill does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you come out to Headington Hill?
Yes. Headington Hill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and photos. The report lists what was cleaned, anything not reached and the next inspection date.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes, along with the ducts behind them. You will see them in the before and after pictures.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you survey the system first?
Yes, always. We check the layout, access and condition, so the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. 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.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Grilles and diffusers
- Hospitals and care homes
- General extract ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
- Offices and schools
- Supply ductwork
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Protect the system from construction dust
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
Keep up with filter changes to protect the ducts. Overdue filters are the quickest way to undo a duct clean.
Keep filters changed on time. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
Multi-site and managed buildings
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 photos.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Headington Hill and across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Headington Hill?
Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, especially when the system runs during the work. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Systems missing access panels
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
For schools like Cheney School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. For a place like Headington Hill, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
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 so you know the cost before work begins.
