Different parts, different methods
Supply ductwork
Supply ductwork delivers conditioned air to each room. Dust that slips past the filters builds up inside, and it’s cleaned out through access panels.
Grilles and diffusers
Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. We clean the grilles and look at what’s behind them.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Roughdown
Beyond the kitchen, TR19® Air covers the ordinary supply and extract systems that serve offices, schools and other buildings. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so every job starts with a look inside the ducts. The work covers offices and schools, supply ductwork and hospitals and care homes, and the jobs we see most are grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt and systems missing access panels.
Work in a small place like Roughdown starts with agreeing access and timings.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep filters changed on time
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so it’s all in one place. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Protect the system during building work by switching it off or covering the grilles.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Roughdown can be planned properly.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
