Ventilation duct cleaning in Westcot
Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Dust and debris build up in both, some of which ends up back in the rooms. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. The work covers offices and schools, grilles and diffusers and toilet extract systems, and people most often call us about supply ducts with years of dust inside and ventilation full of debris from building work.
Work in a small place like Westcot starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
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. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Part by part
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers are where the ducts meet the room. They’re cleaned along with the ductwork, so dust on them is not blown back in.
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and restrict the flow over time.
Questions from Westcot
Do you work overnight in Westcot?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you clean school ventilation in Westcot in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Westcot. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Grilles and diffusers are cleaned as part of the job, so the room side is clean too.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- 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.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.
Common problems we fix in Westcot
Even good filters let some dust through, so fine dust settles in supply ductwork over the years. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Faringdon Day Hospital (about 5.8 miles north-west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Problems with how the system is controlled
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
