How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Lumley
Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Over time, both collect dust and debris, and some of it is blown back into the building. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. If you have systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms, we can put it right, from offices and schools, toilet extract systems and hospitals and care homes onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Why act early in Lumley
After building work, cleaning the ventilation before people move back in makes sense. Otherwise the dust from the works comes out of the grilles once it’s switched back on. In a small place like Lumley, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- We’re fully insured
- A written report with pictures after each visit

Lumley questions
Can you come to Lumley after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Lumley needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can a school’s ventilation in Lumley be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Lumley, the Food Standards Agency lists about 6 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, with photos before and after. If access panels are needed, we’ll say where.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Lumley and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

There are about 6 schools, colleges and universities, about 17 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 5 hotels and B&Bs on the FSA’s food hygiene register in and around Lumley, up to about a mile and a half out. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. At about 58 miles from central London, Lumley sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Lumley’s nearest hospital, Havant War Memorial Hospital, is about 2.4 miles west. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.
School buildings such as St James Church of England Controlled Primary School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed. If you manage shops or offices close to Emsworth station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
