- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
When to call us in Highbridge
Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Condensation and leaks turn loose dust into a stubborn layer, and it becomes harder to remove.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
Healthcare buildings such as Moorgreen Hospital, about 4.3 miles south, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Highbridge, yours matters too.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a survey comes first
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
About our ventilation duct cleaning in Highbridge
Dust in ventilation ductwork isn’t only a cleanliness issue. It slows the air, strains the fans and can be blown back out of the grilles. Cleaning restores the clear airway the system was designed with. If you have stuffy rooms and stale air and ductwork with too few access panels to clean, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Highbridge, ducted ventilation is normally 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Highbridge, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We survey the system from drawings, photos or a site visit.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Advice
Highbridge: your questions answered
Is Highbridge within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work at weekends in Highbridge?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
It depends on the building, how the system is used and what inspection finds. Regular inspection tells you when it’s due.
What happens if it’s left?
After building work, cleaning the ventilation before people move back in makes sense. Otherwise construction dust left in the ducts is blown out once the system runs. If the system at a site near Highbridge fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Highbridge
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
- Keep filters changed on time
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
Don’t let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.

Part by part
Extract ductwork
Extract ducts take air out of toilets, washrooms and general areas. They collect dust, lint and fibres and slowly narrow.
Supply ductwork
We check supply ducts at intervals along each run to see where cleaning is needed.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
