FAQs for Winchester
Do you work at weekends in Winchester?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Can ventilation in schools around Winchester be cleaned out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Winchester, the Food Standards Agency lists about 15 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What is TR19® Air?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Where they can be removed, they’re taken down, cleaned and refitted. The rest are cleaned where they are.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Winchester
We always start by inspecting. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, then recommend cleaning where it’s needed. That keeps the work in proportion to the risk. The work covers toilet extract systems, general extract ductwork and supply ductwork, and common reasons people get in touch are poor airflow from the vents and grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt.
Work in occupied buildings in Winchester is planned around the people using them, so we work zone by zone, out of hours where necessary.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
Do not let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract ductwork
Extract fans pull air through these ducts, so a blocked duct strains them. Clearing the duct helps the fan do its job.
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers are where the ducts meet the room. We clean them as part of the job, so the room side matches the duct side.
How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one, and we clear up before we go. For a managed building in Winchester, let us know about sign-in, permits and who holds the keys.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What affects the quote in Winchester
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Need a price for ventilation duct cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few details about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:

- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Winchester buildings and their air
Food Standards Agency data includes about 15 schools, colleges and universities, about 37 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses across Winchester and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. About within half a mile east of Winchester is St John's Rooms And Chapel, the nearest hospital. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
For workplaces around Winchester station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends. School buildings such as St Bede Church of England Primary School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed. Healthcare buildings such as St John's Rooms And Chapel, about less than half a mile east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Winchester, yours matters too.
