Ventilation duct cleaning in Lower Horsebridge
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, so you have it all on record. We’re often asked to deal with dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected, across hospitals and care homes, grilles and diffusers and toilet extract systems.
Somewhere as small as Lower Horsebridge, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Questions from Lower Horsebridge
Can ventilation in schools around Lower Horsebridge be cleaned out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Lower Horsebridge. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you work in Lower Horsebridge outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Lower Horsebridge keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
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 cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
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 it takes a risk-based approach.
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.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How big the system is
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Log every filter change
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
- Watch for water stains around grilles
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters are the quickest way to undo a duct clean.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as moisture makes dust stick.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Lower Horsebridge run smoothly.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before photos are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
How to prepare
