Ventilation duct cleaning in West Hoathly, done properly
Beyond the kitchen, TR19® Air covers the ordinary supply and extract systems that serve offices, schools and other buildings. It’s risk-based and inspection-led, so we look before we clean. If you’re dealing with supply ducts with years of dust inside and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning, we can put it right.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the job changes from site to site
Offices and retail
In offices and retail, we often work evenings, overnight or at weekends so staff and customers are not disturbed.
Supply ductwork
Supply ductwork delivers conditioned air to each room. Dust that slips past the filters builds up inside, and it’s cleaned out through access panels.
West Hoathly: your questions answered
Can you come to West Hoathly after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Is ventilation duct cleaning available in West Hoathly?
Yes, we work in West Hoathly and the places around it. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day of the survey details.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What if there are not enough access panels?
The report shows exactly which parts weren’t reached. We can install panels to open those sections up.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes. TR19® Air is inspection-led, so we look inside the ducts at set points, with photos of the inside. We recommend cleaning where the inspection shows it’s due.
Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in West Hoathly?
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.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
Hospitals such as Queen Victoria Hospital (about 4.6 miles north-east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near West Hoathly are no different.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they carry
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to West Hoathly.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Get a fixed quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
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 work begins.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
