When to call us in Lilyvale
Ventilation hygiene often gets left out of planned maintenance. A building in Lilyvale can have well-serviced plant and dirty ductwork at the same time.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Systems missing access panels
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Lilyvale, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like William Harvey Hospital (about 3.4 miles north-west).
Questions to ask before booking
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What records you will receive afterwards
Ventilation duct cleaning in Lilyvale
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Clean ducts are part of a healthy building, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. If you’re dealing with ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and ventilation full of debris from building work, we can help.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Not every problem is solved by ventilation duct cleaning, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts

Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. About 3.4 miles north-west of Lilyvale is William Harvey Hospital, the nearest hospital.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
- Any permits to work or inductions
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Lilyvale run smoothly.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Lilyvale
Do you work in villages like Lilyvale?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Lilyvale is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Lilyvale?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Lilyvale needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How much time does a ventilation clean need?
As a guide, it takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Bigger sites are split into stages, and we’ll confirm the plan when we quote.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
Different parts, different methods
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and slowly narrow.
Supply ductwork
Dust in supply ducts can be blown straight into occupied rooms. We clean the runs so it is not blown back in.
