Why it’s worth doing now in Willingale
After building work, cleaning the ventilation before people move back in makes sense. Otherwise the dust from the works comes out of the grilles once it’s switched back on. Planning a trip to Willingale ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Ventilation duct cleaning in Willingale, done properly
Beyond the kitchen, TR19® Air covers the ordinary supply and extract systems that serve offices, schools and other buildings. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so we look before we clean. We’re often asked to deal with rooms that feel airless when the system runs and dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years, on hospitals and care homes, offices and schools and general extract ductwork.
In a village or hamlet like Willingale, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Common problems we fix in Willingale
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.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
In Willingale, supply and extract ducts are cleaned along with the units that serve them.

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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

Different parts, different methods
Offices and retail
Refits in commercial space often leave construction dust in the ducts. A clean before handover is a sensible step.
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.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Willingale can be planned properly.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
