Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
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.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. The rest are cleaned where they are.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Howegreen
We always start by inspecting. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That keeps the work in proportion to the risk. Typical jobs include rooms that feel airless when the system runs and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning, across hospitals and care homes, general extract ductwork and offices and schools.
For a building in or near Howegreen, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. In a small place like Howegreen, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.

Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Howegreen
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Common problems we fix in Howegreen
Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Condensation and leaks turn loose dust into a stubborn layer, and it becomes harder to remove.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
For buildings in and around Howegreen, TR19® Air cleaning starts with an inspection.

- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system

What the work covers
- Supply ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
- Grilles and diffusers
- Offices and schools
- General extract ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
Different parts, different methods
Grilles and diffusers
Every duct ends at a grille or diffuser in the room. We clean them as part of the job, so dust on them isn’t blown back in.
Schools and colleges
The work is fitted around term dates and events, with access agreed with the caretaker or site manager.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
