FAQs for Shirkoak
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Shirkoak in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Shirkoak. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you get to a site in Shirkoak?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Shirkoak is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How long will the duct 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. Large buildings can be phased, often out of hours, and we will confirm the plan when we quote.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
It depends on the building, how the system is used and what inspection finds. Regular inspection tells you when it’s due.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, 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 does TR19 Air cover?
It covers ventilation hygiene for supply and extract systems in offices, schools, hospitals and other buildings. Kitchen extract is covered separately, by TR19® Grease.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Shirkoak, done properly
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after photos. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, so you have it all on record. The work covers supply ductwork, general extract ductwork and grilles and diffusers, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork never cleaned since it was installed and rooms that feel airless when the system runs.
Work in a small place like Shirkoak starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What happens on the day

Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Different parts, different methods
Offices and retail
Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. Cleaning before the new occupants move in makes sense.
Hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, there’s no quiet time. The work is sequenced with staff to keep disruption down.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Log every filter change
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.
Don’t let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.

Leave it or put it right?
Landlords, tenants and auditors may want proof the ventilation is looked after. A TR19® certificate and photo report from a recent clean give them that. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Common problems we fix in Shirkoak
Ductwork is hidden above ceilings and in risers, so nobody sees the build-up. Grilles may be wiped, but the ducts behind them rarely are.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
In Shirkoak, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.
