About our ventilation duct cleaning in Hothfield
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 every job starts with a look inside the ducts. We are often asked to deal with blocked general extract ductwork and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning, on hospitals and care homes, general extract ductwork and grilles and diffusers.
For a building in or near Hothfield, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Hothfield
Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, especially when the system runs during the work. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
Healthcare buildings such as William Harvey Hospital, about 4.6 miles south-east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Hothfield, yours matters too.
Questions to ask before booking
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Proof of insurance
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- How they set the interval to the next visit

For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
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 work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Visits to a village like Hothfield are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract ductwork
Washroom extracts handle damp air, which makes dirt stick. We clean them and note any damp or corrosion.
Hospitals and care homes
People in hospitals and care homes can be more vulnerable to poor air. Inspecting and cleaning to TR19® Air supports good air quality.
