Frequently Asked
Compliance & Ventilation Hygiene FAQs
Straight answers for facilities managers, estates leads and responsible persons.
What is TR19 ventilation hygiene compliance?
TR19 is the BESA standard governing the inspection, cleaning and verification of ventilation systems. It defines how ductwork is assessed, cleaned and documented to meet insurance, fire safety and indoor air quality obligations.
How often should ductwork be cleaned?
Frequency is determined by system classification, usage and risk. Kitchen extract systems typically require cleaning every 3–12 months; healthcare and clean environments follow HTM guidance; commercial supply and extract systems are usually inspected annually.
Do you provide compliance documentation?
Yes. Every programme includes pre and post-clean photographic evidence, access records and a compliance report aligned to BESA TR19, DW/172 and relevant HTM guidance — ready for your insurer, auditor or FM records.
Do you cover the whole UK?
Yes. Directly employed engineers operate across England, Scotland and Wales, with the capability to mobilise to marine and offshore assets internationally.
Is fire damper testing a legal requirement?
Under BS 9999 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, fire dampers must be tested at least annually by a competent person, with documented evidence retained by the responsible person.
