Minster questions
Do you work at weekends in Minster?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Minster keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Minster?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Minster included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
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.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
TR19® Air applies to the general ventilation in buildings like offices, schools and hospitals. Kitchen extract is covered separately, by TR19® Grease.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How much time does a ventilation clean need?
It takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. The size of the system and the access make the biggest difference.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Minster, done properly
Inspection comes first. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, then recommend cleaning where it’s needed. That way the work matches the real condition. The work covers supply ductwork, offices and schools and hospitals and care homes, and the jobs we see most are musty smells from the ventilation and rooms that feel airless when the system runs.
For a building in or near Minster, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What happens if it’s left?
Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Putting the inspection off just means you don’t know where you stand. Somewhere as small as Minster, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Keep filters changed on time. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.
Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Minster?
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, especially when the system runs during the work. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
If you run an office near Minster station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside.
