Why is Regular Duct Cleaning Important?
Duct cleaning is essential to prevent the accumulation of dust, dirt, bacteria, and other pollutants that can build up in your air ducts over time. Ductwork, especially in older buildings, may also contain construction debris that further contaminates your air circulation.
This build-up can significantly reduce the quality of the air circulating through your property, leading to health concerns and reduced HVAC efficiency. Regular duct cleaning ensures clean, safe air and an efficient ventilation system.
Offices
Several studies have linked improved ventilation with a significant increase in productivity. Clean ductwork has also been shown to reduce Sick Building Syndrome and offices with quality ventilation from an outside air source can result in up to 35% less absences due to sickness. These are just a few ways an efficient and clean ventilation system could benefit your business. We can provide duct cleaning in offices both after refurbishment and as part of a regular maintenance schedule.
Is duct cleaning a legal requirement?
In the UK, maintaining a clean and safe indoor environment through regular duct cleaning is not just recommended—it’s legally mandated. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Occupiers Liability Act 1984 obligate businesses to keep their air ducts clean as part of their health and safety duties. Compliance with TR19 guidelines, the industry standard for ventilation system hygiene, is crucial, particularly in commercial buildings and public facilities like hospitals. TR19 sets out strict guidelines, requiring regular inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of air ducts to meet legal and safety standards. This is especially important in environments where air quality directly impacts occupant health, making regular duct cleaning a critical component of legal compliance.
What is TR19?Â
The accepted standard for ventilation system hygiene is TR19. Issued by the Building Engineering Services Association (BESA), TR19 is government-approved guidance on how ductwork should be tested, inspected, and maintained within a building. Duct cleaning is a critical part of maintaining this standard.
Perhaps the most distinguishing feature of TR19 is the classification of ductwork cleanliness as either low, medium, or high. This classification relates to how often ductwork is used within a facility and the required air quality.
For instance, ductwork within a public facility like a hospital is classed as high; general office space tends to be classified as medium, while infrequently utilised areas within buildings will be classed as low. Therefore, it’s vital that regular duct cleaning is performed in line with TR19 guidance, or you risk invalidating your insurance and potentially being liable for damages and claims made by either employees or the general public.
