What we’re called out for in Knave's Ash
In a building in Knave's Ash, the ventilation may run for long hours every day, and every hour moves more dust through the ducts. The busier the building, the faster it builds up.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
For schools like Hoath Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether VAT is included
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
About our ventilation duct cleaning in Knave's Ash
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. The work covers hospitals and care homes, general extract ductwork and grilles and diffusers, and people most often call us about duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning and construction dust left in ducts after a refit.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. 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 with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.

How the job changes from site to site
Hospitals and care homes
People in hospitals and care homes can be more vulnerable to poor air. Inspection-led cleaning under TR19® Air helps keep systems in good condition.
Offices and retail
Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. Cleaning before the new occupants move in makes sense.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
