Look out for any of the following:

- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
In Navestock Heath, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.

How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Navestock Heath
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Clean ducts are part of a healthy building, as much as clean filters and a well-kept AHU. If you are dealing with odours carried round the building by the ducts and ducts that need a clean before handover, we can put it right, from toilet extract systems, hospitals and care homes and grilles and diffusers onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Navestock Heath, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Protect the system during building work by switching it off or covering the grilles.

Navestock Heath questions
Do you work in villages like Navestock Heath?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you cover Navestock Heath for ventilation duct cleaning?
Yes, Navestock Heath is covered. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with a few details of the site.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Can you clean without closing the building?
Yes. The work is planned around the building’s hours. Holidays suit schools, and evenings or weekends suit offices.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, 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.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Navestock Heath and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which takes strain off the fans. Leaving them means the plant works harder for the same result. In a small place like Navestock Heath, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
