Ventilation duct cleaning in Westwood, done properly
Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. We’re often asked to deal with damp or stale smells from grilles and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected, on offices and schools, grilles and diffusers and general extract ductwork.
For a building near Westwood, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The method doesn’t change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Keep filters changed on time
- File each ventilation report with the building records
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so it’s all in one place. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Don’t let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, 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.
Different parts, different methods
Offices and retail
Offices and shops tend to need the work done outside opening hours to keep the space open.
Grilles and diffusers
Every duct ends at a grille or diffuser in the room. We clean them as part of the job, so dust on them is not blown back in.

FAQs for Westwood
Do you cover smaller places like Westwood?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Westwood is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Westwood in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 21 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Westwood. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.

We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Westwood buildings and their air
Food Standards Agency records list about 21 schools, colleges and universities and about 27 care, childcare and hospital premises registered as food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Westwood. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. Westwood’s nearest hospital, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital, is about 0.7 miles north. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
Classrooms and halls at schools such as St Gregory's Catholic Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix

- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- A system that is not designed to move enough air

What the work covers

- Hospitals and care homes
How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Visits to a place like Westwood are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
When to call us in Westwood
In a building in Westwood, the ventilation may run for long hours every day, and every hour of running brings more dust with it. Heavier use means faster build-up.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
Healthcare buildings such as Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital, about 0.7 miles north, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Westwood, yours matters too.
