Newtown Common questions
Can you come to Newtown Common after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work in villages like Newtown Common?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Newtown Common is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
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 far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Newtown Common
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Newtown Common and right across West Berkshire, from offices and schools to hospitals, care homes and shops. Every job begins with a survey and a fixed quote. Typical jobs include systems missing access panels and poor airflow from the vents, on supply ductwork, toilet extract systems and grilles and diffusers.
Somewhere as small as Newtown Common, 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.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Toilet extract systems
- Offices and schools
- General extract ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers
- Supply ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
Why deal with it now?
After building work, cleaning the ventilation before people move back in makes sense. Otherwise construction dust left in the ducts is blown out once the system runs. In a place like Newtown Common, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

When to call us in Newtown Common
Why does it matter?: dirt in the ducts can come back out of the grilles, slow the air and add strain on fans. In hospitals, care homes and schools, clean air is especially important.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Systems missing access panels
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Newtown Common, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
- Inspection comes next, with photos of the inside of the ducts.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
Before any works, think about the ducts. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
