About our ventilation duct cleaning in Tilty
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 we look before we clean. We are often asked to deal with stuffy rooms and stale air and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning, across general extract ductwork, hospitals and care homes and offices and schools.
For a building in or near Tilty, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Watch for water stains around grilles
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
Leave it or put it right?
Smells, dust around grilles and stuffy rooms are signs the system needs attention. Acting early keeps the clean simpler. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Tilty rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Questions from Tilty
Do you cover Tilty for ventilation duct cleaning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Tilty is part of that. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with a few photos of the system.
Can the work in Tilty be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Tilty doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What is TR19® Air?
It covers ventilation hygiene for supply and extract systems in offices, schools, hospitals and other buildings. Kitchen extract systems fall under TR19® Grease instead.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
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 cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Tilty
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Common problems we fix in Tilty
Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
For sites in and around Tilty, the units and the ductwork are both looked at.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
How it works
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. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Tilty, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
