How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Ringlestone
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. Common call-outs are for systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and construction dust left in ducts after a refit, across offices and schools, supply ductwork and general extract ductwork.
For a building near Ringlestone, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The method does not change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Log every filter change
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
Keep up with filter changes to protect the ducts. Overdue filters are the quickest way to undo a duct clean.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as moisture makes dust stick.
When to call us in Ringlestone
Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Where there’s condensation or a leak, dust clings and builds faster, which is harder to shift later.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
Classrooms and halls at schools such as North Borough Junior School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

Ringlestone questions
Is Ringlestone within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can ventilation in schools around Ringlestone be cleaned out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 21 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Ringlestone. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
It takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. How much ductwork there is and how easily it’s reached decide the rest.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.

The process
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. In a smaller place like Ringlestone, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before photos are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
