About our ventilation duct cleaning in Shirburn
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 we look before we clean. If you’re dealing with construction dust left in ducts after a refit and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning, we can help, from hospitals and care homes, general extract ductwork and offices and schools onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Shirburn
Do you work at weekends in Shirburn?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Shirburn can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you get to a site in Shirburn?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Shirburn is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What is TR19® Air?
It’s BESA’s guidance for ventilation hygiene in general supply and extract systems, beyond the kitchen. It works on inspection and risk, and kitchen extract falls under TR19® Grease.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
Typically, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Bigger sites are split into stages, and we will confirm the plan when we quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shirburn
Smells, dust around grilles and stuffy rooms are signs the system needs attention. Dealing with them now stops them getting worse. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.

What else we do in Shirburn
Different parts, different methods
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers that are designed to come out are removed for cleaning, then put back.
Extract ductwork
Extract fans pull air through these ducts, so a blocked duct strains them. A clean duct takes the load off.
Shirburn buildings and their air
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens or food service across Shirburn and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. We cover Shirburn, about 40 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
For buildings in and around Shirburn, TR19® Air cleaning starts with an inspection. Wherever a school like Icknield Community College has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep filters changed on time
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
Before any works, think about the ducts. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
What happens on the day
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. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Shirburn run smoothly.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
