Ventilation duct cleaning in Trench Green
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Trench Green and right across Reading, from offices and schools to hospitals, care homes and shops. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. The work covers toilet extract systems, supply ductwork and general extract ductwork, and common reasons people get in touch are odours carried round the building by the ducts and stuffy rooms and stale air.
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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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.
Trench Green questions
Do you work at weekends in Trench Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Trench Green keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you come out to Trench Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Trench Green is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
Inspection should decide it, in line with TR19® Air. Heavily used buildings, or those with vulnerable occupants, may need attention more often.
What is TR19® Air?
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.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters are the quickest way to undo a duct clean.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Trench Green
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Trench Green.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line 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 normally have a quote within one working day.

Common problems we fix in Trench Green
It matters for the people inside: dusty ducts can blow debris back into rooms, restrict airflow and make fans work harder. In hospitals, care homes and schools, clean air is especially important.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
Ventilation work in and around Trench Green is risk-based: inspect, then clean what needs it.
Questions to ask before booking

Hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, there’s no quiet time. We plan the order of work with the site team so care carries on.
Supply ductwork
Anything in a supply duct can end up in the rooms it feeds. We clean the runs so it isn’t blown back in.
