About our ventilation duct cleaning in Lower Horncroft
Beyond the kitchen, TR19® Air covers the ordinary supply and extract systems that serve offices, schools and other buildings. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so every job starts with a look inside the ducts. The work covers general extract ductwork, supply ductwork and offices and schools, and the jobs we see most are ventilation full of debris from building work and systems missing access panels.
Work in a small place like Lower Horncroft starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Lower Horncroft?
Many systems run for long hours, day after day, and every hour of running brings more dust with it. The busier the building, the faster it builds up.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
For schools like Fittleworth CofE Village School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
What happens if it’s left?
Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Putting the inspection off just means you don’t know where you stand. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Why us?
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Somewhere like Lower Horncroft, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

- Leaking or broken duct sections

Lower Horncroft questions
Can you work in Lower Horncroft outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Lower Horncroft can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you clean school ventilation in Lower Horncroft in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Lower Horncroft. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do you survey the system first?
Yes. TR19® Air is inspection-led, so we look inside the ducts at set points and record what we find. Cleaning is recommended where it’s needed.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, based on what we found. Diary it straight away so it is not missed.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
