Ventilation duct cleaning in Silver Hill
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that deals with general supply and extract ventilation. It’s risk-based and inspection-led, so every job starts with a look inside the ducts. Typical jobs include supply ducts with years of dust inside and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning, on hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and supply ductwork.
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’s 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.

Part by part
Offices and retail
In offices and retail, we often work evenings, overnight or at weekends to keep the space open.
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and restrict the flow over time.
Common problems we fix in Silver Hill
Most ductwork is out of sight, so nobody sees the build-up. The grilles get a wipe, but what’s behind them does not.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
Healthcare buildings such as Ticehurst House Hospital, about 4.4 miles north-west, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Silver Hill, yours matters too.

Common questions in Silver Hill
Do you work at weekends in Silver Hill?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Silver Hill needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you do ventilation duct cleaning in Silver Hill?
Yes, we work in Silver Hill and the places around it. You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What is TR19® Air?
It’s BESA’s guidance for ventilation hygiene in general supply and extract systems, beyond the kitchen. It’s risk-based and led by inspection, while TR19® Grease covers kitchen extract systems.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes, both a certificate and a photo report. It also notes unreached sections and a recommended next inspection.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What affects the quote in Silver Hill
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

Why it’s worth doing now in Silver Hill
An inspection-led approach avoids cleaning ducts that do not need it. Putting the inspection off just means you do not know where you stand. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so the history stays together. Over time, it shows how quickly the system gets dirty.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
