When to call us in Westridge
Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, especially when the system runs during the work. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Blocked general extract ductwork
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Gosport War Memorial Hospital (about 5.5 miles north) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether a survey comes first
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Westridge
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Keeping the ducts clean is a sensible part of looking after them, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. Common call-outs are for systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and ductwork never cleaned since it was installed, on toilet extract systems, hospitals and care homes and general extract ductwork.
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.
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 and sits alongside the report.

Other services in Westridge
Different parts, different methods
Schools and colleges
Schools and colleges are easiest to clean during the holidays, with nobody in the classrooms.
Hospitals and care homes
People in hospitals and care homes can be more vulnerable to poor air. Inspecting and cleaning to TR19® Air supports good air quality.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Visits to a village like Westridge are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We survey the system from drawings, pictures or a site visit.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- A certificate and before and after pictures follow, with anything not reached recorded.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Common questions in Westridge
Is Westridge within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Westridge included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Westridge in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 10 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Westridge, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, on site or from photos and drawings, then we send you a fixed quote.
What is TR19® Air?
It’s BESA’s guidance for ventilation hygiene in general supply and extract systems, beyond the kitchen. It’s risk-based and led by inspection, while TR19® Grease covers kitchen extract systems.
How do you deal with ducts you can’t get into?
The report shows exactly which parts weren’t reached. Access panels can be added where necessary.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
How much time does a ventilation clean need?
Expect it to take a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. The size of the system and the access make the biggest difference.
Westridge buildings and their air
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 10 schools, colleges and universities, about 13 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 7 hotels and guest houses serving food in and around Westridge, up to about a mile and a half out. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. The nearest hospital to Westridge is Gosport War Memorial Hospital, about 5.5 miles north. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital.
If you run an office near Smallbrook Junction station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside. School buildings such as Oakfield Church of England Aided Primary School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.

Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by ventilation duct cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
