How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Locks Heath
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that deals with general supply and extract ventilation. It’s risk-based and inspection-led, so we look before we clean. Common call-outs are for musty smells from the ventilation and dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers, across hospitals and care homes, general extract ductwork and toilet extract systems.
Around a place like Locks Heath, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Part by part
Extract ductwork
Extract ducts take air out of toilets, washrooms and general areas. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and slowly narrow.
Offices and retail
In offices and retail, we often work evenings, overnight or at weekends so staff and customers aren’t disturbed.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Locks Heath: local notes
There are about 11 schools, colleges and universities and about 27 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises on the FSA’s food hygiene register within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Locks Heath. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. About 0.6 miles north-west of Locks Heath is Fareham Community Hospital, the nearest hospital. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital.
Wherever a school like Park Gate Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time. Hospitals such as Fareham Community Hospital (about 0.6 miles north-west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Locks Heath are no different.

Common problems we fix in Locks Heath
Filters never catch everything, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Poor airflow from the vents
Workplaces around Swanwick station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Locks Heath.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
- Inspection comes next, with photos of the inside of the ducts.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, based on what we found. Diary it right away so it isn’t missed.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
Locks Heath: your questions answered
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Locks Heath in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 11 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Locks Heath, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Will you come out to Locks Heath?
Yes, Locks Heath is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can you clean without closing the building?
Yes, whenever daytime working is not practical. Tell us when the system can be switched off and we will plan to that.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
