- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms

- Blocked general extract ductwork
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
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.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Portfield
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Dust and debris build up in both, some of which ends up back in the rooms. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. Common call-outs are for dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms and dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years, across general extract ductwork, supply ductwork and grilles and diffusers.
In a smaller place like Portfield, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and restrict the flow over time.
Supply ductwork
Supply runs are inspected at set points first before deciding what to clean.
When to call us in Portfield
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, especially when the system runs during the work. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
Look out for any of the following:
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
If you manage a school such as Portfield Primary Academy, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
What to look for in a quote
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Proof of insurance
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether they recommend a next date
Why deal with it now?
Leave dust in the ductwork and it keeps building. Every year adds to the job, and the more gets blown back into the rooms. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
