About our ventilation duct cleaning in Newnham
Ductwork is reached through access panels at intervals along the system. Where there are not enough panels to reach every section, we note the uncleaned parts in the report, and new access panels can be installed so they’re covered next time. Common call-outs are for ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection and toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff, across hospitals and care homes, grilles and diffusers and offices and schools.
Somewhere as small as Newnham, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

When to call us in Newnham
Filters never catch everything, so fine dust settles in supply ductwork over the years. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.
Look out for any of the following:
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
If you manage a school such as Eastling Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the price is fixed
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
Before any works, think about the ducts. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Fit access panels where the ductwork cannot be reached. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
Different parts, different methods
Extract ductwork
Extract ducts take air out of toilets, washrooms and general areas. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and slowly narrow.
Offices and retail
Refits in commercial space often leave construction dust in the ducts. Cleaning before the new occupants move in makes sense.
Leave it or put it right?
Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which puts less load on the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. With notice, the visit to Newnham can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Newnham
Is Newnham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can a school’s ventilation in Newnham be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Newnham. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
TR19® Air deals with general ventilation, while TR19® Grease deals with kitchen extract. TR19® Air takes an inspection-led, risk-based approach.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Newnham, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
