Advice
Ventilation duct cleaning in Stone Corner
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that deals with general supply and extract ventilation. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so every job starts with a look inside the ducts. Common call-outs are for damp or stale smells from grilles and ductwork never cleaned since it was installed, across hospitals and care homes, general extract ductwork and supply ductwork.
In a village or hamlet like Stone Corner, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Stick to the filter change schedule
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, based on what we found. Diary it straight away so it does not slip.
Fit access panels where the ductwork can’t be reached. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
- Building management settings that run the plant
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- General extract ductwork
- Offices and schools
- Toilet extract systems
- Grilles and diffusers
- Supply ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Part by part
Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. A clean duct takes the load off.
Offices and retail
In offices and retail, we often work evenings, overnight or at weekends so staff and customers are not disturbed.
Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Stone Corner
Do you work in villages like Stone Corner?

What does TR19 Air cover?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. TR19® Air takes an inspection-led, risk-based approach.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
Typically, the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Large buildings can be phased, often out of hours, and we’ll confirm the plan when we quote.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
Under TR19® Air, the answer comes from inspecting the ducts. Busy or sensitive buildings may need it more often.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
