How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Sandford St Martin
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Over time, both collect dust and debris, and some of it is blown back into the building. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. If you are dealing with ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning, we can help, from hospitals and care homes, grilles and diffusers and offices and schools onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids 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 pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
Ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Grilles and diffusers

- Toilet extract systems
- Offices and schools
What affects the quote in Sandford St Martin
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
How the job changes from site to site
Grilles and diffusers
Where they come out, grilles are taken down and cleaned, then refitted.
Supply ductwork
Dust in supply ducts can be blown straight into occupied rooms. Cleaning it deals with the source.
FAQs for Sandford St Martin
Can you come to Sandford St Martin after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Sandford St Martin can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can ventilation in schools around Sandford St Martin be cleaned out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Sandford St Martin. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
What does TR19 Air cover?
It’s BESA’s guidance for ventilation hygiene in general supply and extract systems, rather than kitchen extract. It works on inspection and risk, while TR19® Grease covers kitchen extract systems.
Is Sandford St Martin in your area?
Yes. We work in Sandford St Martin and the rest of Oxfordshire, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What we are called out for in Sandford St Martin
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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
Every job around Sandford St Martin ends with a record of what was cleaned and what was found.

What happens if it’s left?
Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Skipping it leaves you guessing. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.
