FAQs for Micklefield Green
Will you come out to Micklefield Green?
Yes, Micklefield Green is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Micklefield Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Micklefield Green needn’t be disturbed. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
Typically, the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Bigger sites are split into stages, and we’ll confirm the plan when we quote.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Micklefield Green, done properly
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Micklefield Green and right across Hertfordshire, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Every job begins with a survey and a fixed quote. If you have extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and ductwork never cleaned since it was installed, we can help.
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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What the work involves, part by part
Supply ductwork
Dust in supply ducts can be blown straight into occupied rooms. We clean the runs so it isn’t blown back in.
Schools and colleges
The work is fitted around term dates and events and agree access with the site team.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Micklefield Green before we set off.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Micklefield Green and across Hertfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, with pictures before and after. We’ll suggest where new access panels would help.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
Why it’s worth doing now in Micklefield Green
Dust in ducts does not go away on its own. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and more of it finds its way back into the building. With notice, the visit to Micklefield Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
