How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Houghton
Beyond the kitchen, TR19® Air covers the ordinary supply and extract systems that serve offices, schools and other buildings. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so every job starts with a look inside the ducts. If you’re dealing with ventilation full of debris from building work and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning, we can put it right.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
Questions from Houghton
Do you work overnight in Houghton?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Houghton needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Is Houghton within the area you cover?
Yes. Houghton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you provide a report?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and photos. The report lists what was cleaned, anything not reached and the next inspection date.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
That varies with the building, the filters and how hard the system works. Regular inspection tells you when it’s due.
Do you inspect before cleaning?
Yes, always. We check the layout, access and condition, so the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
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.

The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Houghton’s nearest hospital, Arundel and District Hospital, is about 2.7 miles south. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital.
Healthcare buildings such as Arundel and District Hospital, about 2.7 miles south, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Houghton, yours matters too. School buildings such as Dorset House School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Why act early in Houghton
After building work, cleaning the ventilation before people move back in makes sense. Otherwise the dust from the works comes out of the grilles once it’s switched back on. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Houghton is calmer for everyone.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Houghton can be planned properly.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Schools and colleges
We plan the work around the school calendar, with access agreed with the caretaker or site manager.
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers are where the ducts meet the room. We clean them as part of the job, so dust on them is not blown back in.
