How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in The Haven
In a building in The Haven, the people inside spend hours breathing what the ventilation delivers. Clean ducts are part of a healthy building, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. The work covers toilet extract systems, general extract ductwork and offices and schools, and common reasons people get in touch are construction dust left in ducts after a refit and musty smells from the ventilation.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
Ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Hospitals and care homes
- Offices and schools

Why it’s worth doing now in The Haven
Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Putting the inspection off just means you do not know where you stand. Somewhere as small as The Haven, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Visits to a village like The Haven are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

When to call us in The Haven
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, especially when the system runs during the work. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Horsham Hospital (about 5.3 miles east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of insurance
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the price is fixed
FAQs for The Haven
Do you work at weekends in The Haven?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work in villages like The Haven?
Yes. The Haven is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. Where they can be removed, they’re taken down, cleaned and refitted. The rest are cleaned where they are.
What if there aren’t enough access panels?
Those sections are recorded as not cleaned in the report, so it’s clear what’s outstanding. New access panels can be installed so the whole system can be cleaned.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
The clean takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. The survey gives us a clearer idea, so call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form to get started.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
