About our ventilation duct cleaning in High Cross
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. If you’re dealing with dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms and ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection, we can help, from toilet extract systems, general extract ductwork and offices and schools onwards.
Somewhere as small as High Cross, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

High Cross buildings and their air
There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register in and around High Cross, up to about a mile and a half out. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. At about 24 miles from central London, High Cross sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. For High Cross, the closest hospital is Hertford County Hospital, roughly 4.6 miles south-west.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to High Cross.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- File each ventilation report with the building records
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, with photos before and after. If access panels are needed, we will say where.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as moisture makes dust stick.
High Cross questions
Do you work overnight in High Cross?

Yes, High Cross is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
How the job changes from site to site
Supply ductwork
Supply ductwork delivers conditioned air to each room. Dust that slips past the filters builds up inside, and it’s cleaned out through access panels.
Extract ductwork
Toilet and washroom extract can carry moisture as well as dust, so the dust tends to cling. They’re cleaned and their condition recorded.

What affects the quote in High Cross
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
