About our ventilation duct cleaning in Slough
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. If you’re dealing with grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt and musty smells from the ventilation, we can put it right.
Work in occupied buildings in Slough is planned around the people using them, so we work zone by zone, out of hours where needed.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
FAQs for Slough
Do you clean school ventilation in Slough in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 20 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Slough. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Can you come to Slough after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Slough does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Is Slough in your area?
Yes. Slough is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. We will ask where we can park in Slough and how to get equipment to the system, as those shape the visit.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
Get a fixed quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Ventilation duct cleaning in Slough: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 20 schools, colleges and universities, about 26 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 8 hotels and guest houses registered as food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Slough. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. Upton Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 0.9 miles south-east of Slough. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too. Slough is about 22 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Workplaces around Slough station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts. Healthcare buildings such as Upton Hospital, about 0.9 miles south-east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Slough, yours matters too.

What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Problems with how the system is controlled
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What affects the quote in Slough
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Common problems we fix in Slough
Ductwork is hidden above ceilings and in risers, so dust collects unseen. Grilles may be wiped, but the ducts behind them rarely are.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
- Poor airflow from the vents
If you manage a school such as Herschel Grammar School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the price is fixed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether they’re fully insured
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
