How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Merstham
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Clean ducts are part of a healthy building, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. We’re often asked to deal with toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff and dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers, across offices and schools, grilles and diffusers and toilet extract systems.
In a village or hamlet like Merstham, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
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.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. 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 weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Somewhere like Merstham, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
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 work begins.
Advice
What affects the quote in Merstham
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Log every filter change
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so it’s all in one place. Over time, it shows how quickly the system gets dirty.
Fit access panels where the ductwork cannot be reached. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
Merstham questions
Will you come out to Merstham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can a school’s ventilation in Merstham be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Merstham. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you provide a report?
Yes. The certificate records the date and location of the work and the technician, along with photos before and after.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
