How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Wivenhoe
In a building in Wivenhoe, the people inside spend hours breathing what the ventilation delivers. Keeping the ducts clean is a sensible part of looking after them, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. If you are dealing with supply ducts with years of dust inside and systems missing access panels, we can put it right.
Visits to a place like Wivenhoe are fitted around opening hours. The method does not change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Tell us when your site near Wivenhoe is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We survey the system from drawings, photos or a site visit.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one

- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead

Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Wivenhoe
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle

- Whether several sites go on one quote

Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Questions from Wivenhoe
Can you work in Wivenhoe outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Wivenhoe needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover smaller places like Wivenhoe?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Wivenhoe included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes, both a certificate and a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything not reached and the next inspection date.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
When should our ventilation next be cleaned?
There’s no single interval; under TR19® Air, inspection decides. We suggest a next inspection date after each visit.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
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 it takes a risk-based approach.
