How the visit works

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Little Hungerford.

  1. We look at the system and any earlier reports.
  2. We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
  3. The work area is protected and the system switched off.

Advice

About our ventilation duct cleaning in Little Hungerford

Inspection comes first. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That way the work matches the real condition. If you have ductwork never cleaned since it was installed and dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms, we can help.

For a building in or near Little Hungerford, 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.

Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix

We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:

  • Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
  • Ventilation that is undersized for the building
  • Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What the work covers

  • Toilet extract systems
  • General extract ductwork
  • Supply ductwork
  • Hospitals and care homes
  • Grilles and diffusers
  • Offices and schools

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Little Hungerford

Filters never catch everything, so fine dust settles in supply ductwork over the years. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.

Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
  • Blocked general extract ductwork
  • Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
  • Rooms that feel airless when the system runs

Hospitals such as West Berkshire Community Hospital (about 4 miles south) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Little Hungerford are no different.

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

What your team can do, and what needs us

Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Aftercare tips

So the system stays in good health:

  • Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
  • Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
  • Stick to the filter change schedule
  • Keep to the inspection interval in your report

The report lists the sections we cleaned and any we couldn’t reach, backed up by before and after photos. We will suggest where new access panels would help.

Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.

What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?

Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.

What do you do to protect the area?

With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.

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.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.

What does TR19 mean?

It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.

How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?

TR19® Air is risk-based, so cleaning follows inspection rather than a fixed calendar. Each report recommends when the system should next be inspected.
