Lower Slackstead: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Lower Slackstead?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you get to a site in Lower Slackstead?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Lower Slackstead is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What is TR19® Air?
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that covers general supply and extract ventilation, rather than kitchen extract. It’s risk-based and led by inspection, and kitchen extract falls under TR19® Grease.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes, along with the ducts behind them. They show up in the photo report before and after.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Common problems we fix in Lower Slackstead
Most ductwork is out of sight, so nobody sees the build-up. The grilles get a wipe, but what’s behind them does not.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Systems missing access panels
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
Hospitals such as Romsey Community Hospital (about 3 miles south-west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Lower Slackstead are no different.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Lower Slackstead knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
Keep up with filter changes to protect the ducts. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
Don’t let construction dust into the ventilation by switching it off or covering the grilles.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What happens if it’s left?
After building work, cleaning the ventilation before people move back in makes sense. Otherwise construction dust left in the ducts is blown out once the system runs. In a small place like Lower Slackstead, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
