Ventilation duct cleaning in High Cross
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Over time, both collect dust and debris, some of which ends up back in the rooms. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. The work covers grilles and diffusers, hospitals and care homes and supply ductwork, and the jobs we see most are construction dust left in ducts after a refit and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected.
In a village or hamlet like High Cross, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What the work involves, part by part
Offices and retail
In offices and retail, we often work evenings, overnight or at weekends so staff and customers are not disturbed.
Supply ductwork
Anything in a supply duct can end up in the rooms it feeds. We clean the runs so it isn’t blown back in.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The size of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
- Travel, parking and unloading
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 are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to High Cross.
- We survey the system from drawings, photos or a site visit.
- Inspection comes next, with pictures of the inside of the ducts.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Log every filter change
- Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in High Cross needn’t be disturbed. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in High Cross?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
