How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Martin
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, so you have it all on record. If you have ductwork with too few access panels to clean and odours carried round the building by the ducts, we can put it right, from toilet extract systems, supply ductwork and grilles and diffusers onwards.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Building management settings that run the plant
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Martin
Do you work overnight in Martin?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Martin needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is Martin in your area for ventilation duct cleaning?
Yes, Martin is covered. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few photos of the system.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What we’re called out for in Martin
Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, especially when the system runs during the work. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
Royal Victoria Hospital, about 3.6 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Martin, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Part by part
Schools and colleges
We plan the work around the school calendar, with access agreed with the caretaker or site manager.
Extract ductwork
Extract ducts take air out of toilets, washrooms and general areas. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and slowly narrow.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
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.

Why deal with it now?
Where a building in Martin serves patients, residents or children, putting off ventilation cleaning is hard to justify. Good indoor air starts with a clean system. In a place like Martin, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
