About our ventilation duct cleaning in Marden Ash

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. We’re often asked to deal with supply ducts with years of dust inside and ducts that need a clean before handover, on toilet extract systems, offices and schools and supply ductwork.

Work in a small place like Marden Ash starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.

Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators

From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.

If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.

When it’s something else

In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:

  • Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
  • Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
  • Problems with how the system is controlled

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What the work covers

  • Toilet extract systems
  • Hospitals and care homes
  • Supply ductwork
  • General extract ductwork
  • Grilles and diffusers
  • Offices and schools

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Marden Ash

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:

  • The condition we find in the survey
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • The times the site is available
  • Parking and loading at the site

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Helping us quote

When you call or email, it’s useful to have:

  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Marden Ash buildings and their air

Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 4 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises serving food within about 1.5 miles of central Marden Ash. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. For Marden Ash, the closest hospital is St. Margaret's Hospital, roughly 5.2 miles west. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.

For schools like Chipping Ongar Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation. St. Margaret's Hospital, about 5.2 miles west, is the nearest hospital to Marden Ash, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

What the work involves, part by part

Schools and colleges

The work is fitted around term dates and events and agree access with the site team.

Extract ductwork

Extract ducts take air out of toilets, washrooms and general areas. They collect dust, lint and fibres and slowly narrow.

What we do, step by step

Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Marden Ash.

  1. We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
  2. We open the ductwork through its access panels.
  3. Before photos are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
  4. Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
  5. After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
  • Clear the space around the work

Yes, along with the ducts behind them. They show up in the photo report before and after.

Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.

Do you work evenings and weekends?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and weekends, to keep the building open.
