Common questions in Old Basing
Can you clean school ventilation in Old Basing during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 6 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Old Basing. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can the work in Old Basing be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Old Basing doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
What does TR19 Air cover?
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that covers general supply and extract ventilation, rather than kitchen extract. It’s risk-based and led by inspection, while TR19® Grease covers kitchen extract systems.
Do you provide a report?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and photos. It also notes unreached sections and a recommended next inspection.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
As a guide, it takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Bigger sites are split into stages, to fit around the building.
Do you cover Old Basing?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Old Basing.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
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 Old Basing
Dust in ventilation ductwork isn’t only a cleanliness issue. It slows the air, strains the fans and can be blown back out of the grilles. Cleaning restores the clear airway the system was designed with. Common call-outs are for extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and supply ducts with years of dust inside, across offices and schools, general extract ductwork and hospitals and care homes.
In a place like Old Basing, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, out of sight and easy to overlook. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Old Basing
Even good filters let some dust through, so fine dust settles in supply ductwork over the years. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Old Basing, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (about 3 miles west).

Part by part
Supply ductwork
Supply ducts carry air from the AHU into the rooms. Dust that slips past the filters builds up inside, and it’s cleaned out through access panels.
Hospitals and care homes
In care settings, keeping dust contained is a priority. We protect the work area and take everything away.
Old Basing buildings and their air
There are about 6 schools, colleges and universities and about 5 care, childcare and hospital premises on the FSA’s food hygiene register within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Old Basing. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. About 3 miles west of Old Basing is Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, the nearest hospital. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too. Old Basing is about 44 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you manage a school such as Old Basing Infant School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Grilles and diffusers
- Hospitals and care homes
- Toilet extract systems

- General extract ductwork
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- A single visit or a regular plan
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
How the visit works
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 weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Your opening hours decide when we come to Old Basing, not ours.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Where a building in Old Basing serves patients, residents or children, putting off ventilation cleaning is hard to justify. Clean ducts are part of providing good air for the people inside. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
