Ventilation duct cleaning in Headington Quarry, done properly
Ductwork is reached through access panels at intervals along the system. If some sections cannot be reached, the report says so, and we can fit new panels so they’re covered next time. Common call-outs are for rooms that feel airless when the system runs and blocked general extract ductwork, on toilet extract systems, supply ductwork and hospitals and care homes.
Visits to a place like Headington Quarry are fitted around opening hours. The method doesn’t change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.

Headington Quarry: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Headington Quarry?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Headington Quarry is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Headington Quarry?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes. TR19® Air is inspection-led, so we look inside the ducts at set points and record what we find. We recommend cleaning where the inspection shows it’s due.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. We clean the grilles and diffusers along with the ductwork, so dust is not left at the outlets.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What affects the quote in Headington Quarry
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Protect the system during building work by switching it off or covering the grilles.
The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Everything the job in Headington Quarry needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work

For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
