Ventilation duct cleaning in Stanford Rivers
Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. Typical jobs include ductwork never cleaned since it was installed and stuffy rooms and stale air, across supply ductwork, general extract ductwork and grilles and diffusers.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
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. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

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 law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix

- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Common problems we fix in Stanford Rivers
Why does it matter?: dusty ducts can blow debris back into rooms, restrict airflow and make fans work harder. In hospitals, care homes and schools, clean air is especially important.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
Hospitals such as St. Margaret's Hospital (about 4.2 miles west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Stanford Rivers are no different.
Questions to ask before you book
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What hours they’ll be on site
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Proof of insurance
Different parts, different methods
Hospitals and care homes
Dust control matters during work in occupied care settings. The area is protected, and debris contained and removed.
Supply ductwork
Anything in a supply duct can end up in the rooms it feeds. Cleaning it deals with the source.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
