About our ventilation duct cleaning in Swattenden
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. Common call-outs are for systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and supply ducts with years of dust inside, on hospitals and care homes, general extract ductwork and grilles and diffusers.
Work in a small place like Swattenden starts with agreeing access and timings.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Swattenden before we set off.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- Inspection comes next, with photos of the inside of the ducts.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- A certificate and before and after pictures follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so the history stays together. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
Why deal with it now?
If a building in Swattenden has just been refitted, now is the time to clean the ductwork. Otherwise the dust from the works comes out of the grilles once it’s switched back on. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Every site is different, 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.
Why us?
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Survey first, then a fixed quote

Swattenden: your questions answered
Can ventilation in schools around Swattenden be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Swattenden. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you work in villages like Swattenden?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Swattenden is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What does TR19 Air cover?
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that covers general supply and extract ventilation, beyond the kitchen. It’s risk-based and led by inspection, and kitchen extract falls under TR19® Grease.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. The rest are cleaned where they are.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Swattenden
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
