Ventilation duct cleaning in Point Clear, done properly
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that deals with general supply and extract ventilation. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so every job starts with a look inside the ducts. Typical jobs include ventilation full of debris from building work and blocked general extract ductwork, on general extract ductwork, supply ductwork and hospitals and care homes.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Common problems we fix in Point Clear
Filters never catch everything, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
Around Point Clear, as anywhere, ventilation cleaning begins with an inspection.
What your quote should include
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- When the next visit should be, and why
FAQs for Point Clear
Do you cover smaller places like Point Clear?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Point Clear is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Point Clear?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Point Clear doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, backed up by before and after photos. We’ll suggest where new access panels would help.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as moisture makes dust stick.

Extract ductwork
Toilet and washroom extract can carry moisture as well as dust, so the dust tends to cling. We clean them and note any damp or corrosion.
Hospitals and care homes
People in hospitals and care homes can be more vulnerable to poor air. Inspecting and cleaning to TR19® Air supports good air quality.
