What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning will not do:
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
- Leaking or broken duct sections
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Hospitals and care homes
- Supply ductwork
- Offices and schools
- Toilet extract systems
- General extract ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers
Ventilation duct cleaning in Tipner, done properly
We get into the ducts through access panels at intervals along the system. If some sections can’t be reached, the report says so, and new access panels can be installed for the next clean. If you have systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and ductwork never cleaned since it was installed, we can put it right.
In a place like Tipner, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, out of sight and easy to overlook. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Don’t let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.

The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Tipner can usually be finished without a second trip.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system 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.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. The nearest hospital to Tipner is Royal Portsmouth Hospital, about 1.2 miles south.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Why deal with it now?
Leave dust in the ductwork and it keeps building. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and more of it finds its way back into the building. A planned visit to Tipner fits your hours; an emergency does not.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Tipner?
Ventilation hygiene often gets left out of planned maintenance. A building in Tipner can have well-serviced plant and dirty ductwork at the same time.
What we are most often called out for:
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
Healthcare buildings such as Royal Portsmouth Hospital, about 1.2 miles south, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Tipner, yours matters too.
What your quote should include

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Tipner
Can the work in Tipner be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Tipner keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover smaller places like Tipner?
Yes, Tipner is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes, together with the ductwork. You’ll see them in the before and after photos.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
