Ventilation duct cleaning in Hill Green
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after photos. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, so you have it all on record. Typical jobs include musty smells from the ventilation and ductwork with too few access panels to clean, across offices and schools, hospitals and care homes and general extract ductwork.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so it’s all in one place. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as moisture makes dust stick.
When to call us in Hill Green
Many systems run for long hours, day after day, and every hour moves more dust through the ducts. Heavier use means faster build-up.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Hill Green, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Saffron Walden Community Hospital (about 5.5 miles north-east).
Questions to ask before you book

Advice
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Different parts, different methods
Schools and colleges
Holidays and weekends are the natural time to clean school ventilation, when classrooms are empty.
Offices and retail
Offices and shops tend to need the work done outside opening hours so staff and customers aren’t disturbed.
Hill Green questions
Can the work in Hill Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Hill Green can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can ventilation in schools around Hill Green be cleaned out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Hill Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes. Where they can be removed, they’re taken down, cleaned and refitted. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
