Ventilation duct cleaning in West Reading
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, so you have it all on record. If you have ductwork never cleaned since it was installed and extract ducts clogged with lint and dust, we can help, from general extract ductwork, toilet extract systems and offices and schools onwards.
In a place like West Reading, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Your opening hours decide when we come to West Reading, not ours.
- 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.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in West Reading
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Keep filters changed on time
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Don’t let construction dust into the ventilation by switching it off or covering the grilles.
Part by part
Supply ductwork
Supply ducts carry air from the AHU into the rooms. Fine dust that gets past the filters settles along the runs, and we remove it through access panels.
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers that are designed to come out are removed for cleaning, then put back.

When to call us in West Reading
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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
Hospitals such as Battle Hospital (about within half a mile north) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near West Reading are no different.

West Reading questions
Do you cover smaller places like West Reading?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and West Reading is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to West Reading after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What does TR19 Air cover?
It’s BESA’s guidance for ventilation hygiene in general supply and extract systems, rather than kitchen extract. It’s risk-based and led by inspection, while TR19® Grease covers kitchen extract systems.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What if there aren’t enough access panels?
We clean what we can reach and note the rest. Fitting access panels tends to be the answer, and we can fit them.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
