Safeguard Your Operations with Industrial Duct Cleaning for High-Capacity Systems
In high-demand industrial environments, ventilation systems do more than move air; they keep operations running smoothly and safely. Over time, dust, debris, and airborne contaminants can accumulate inside ductwork, restricting airflow, straining your HVAC systems, and putting your workforce and facility at risk. At Deduct Ltd, we specialise in industrial duct cleaning tailored to the complex needs of large-scale operations and compliance regulations. TR19 guidance sets out best practice standards for the cleanliness of ventilation systems in industrial facilities, as well as how often air ducts should be cleaned.
At a minimum, ductwork in industrial buildings must be cleaned at least once every twelve months. When industrial dust and contaminants build up, it becomes more than just a maintenance issue – it can be a health and safety hazard. This dust and debris contribute to poor air quality. It also increases the likelihood of a fire and can lead to equipment failure. Whether you’re running a factory, a processing plant, a warehouse, or a production line, you have a duty of care to ensure a safe working environment.

Why do I need to get the ducts cleaned?
Industrial environments are particularly vulnerable to the accumulation of airborne contaminants. Processes such as welding, machining, grinding, assembly, packaging, and more release large volumes of particles into the air. Over time, ducts are contaminated by a build-up of dirt, debris, and dust that can affect the efficiency of your ventilation systems and even cause a range of health complications stemming from poor air quality. Without proper industrial duct cleaning, these particles settle in your ductwork, causing a range of operational and safety issues. Dirty ventilation systems restrict the airflow, forcing HVAC units to work harder than normal. This increases your facility’s energy consumption and inflates your utility bills. It also puts undue strain on the HVAC system. The increased wear and tear causes more frequent breakdowns and can reduce the lifespan of your valuable equipment.
Given the vital role that ductwork plays in air circulation within your building, it must be cleaned regularly. Neglecting the build-up of contaminants has other effects, too. Stagnant air and recirculated dust can negatively impact the health and well-being of your staff, leading to a host of problems. Manufacturing processes often generate substantial amounts of airborne particles, creating a breeding ground for allergens that can cause respiratory issues, especially for people with pre-existing conditions. From asthma to bronchitis, fatigue, and brain fog, poor indoor air quality often leads to increased absenteeism and lower productivity. Air quality improvement is about safeguarding the health of your employees, improving your operational efficiencies and meeting UK regulatory standards.

The important benefits of duct cleaning
Having your ducts cleaned at regular intervals is beneficial to your business as well as the health of your employees. The benefits of a well-maintained ventilation system include:
- The removal of unhealthy residue, dirt, dust, grease, and debris that have accumulated in your ducts over time.
- Reduction in the risk of fire associated with the build-up of dirt, grease, or any other contaminant within an industrial duct.
- Reduce the risk of unplanned downtime (a costly and avoidable disruption in any industrial setting).
- Clean ducts improve system performance and lower energy bills, extending the lifespan of expensive equipment.
- Clean, well-ventilated air reduces respiratory issues and allergies.
- Improvement in the quality of air circulating within your building leads to a healthier, more focused, and ultimately more productive workforce.
- Clean ducts improve system performance, making your heating and cooling systems more efficient (and lowering energy bills).
- Meeting your legal responsibilities for air hygiene and fire risk management.
How often do industrial air ducts need to be cleaned?
TR19 includes guidelines issued by the Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) that stipulate how often you should clean your industrial ducts. TR19 stipulates that ductwork should be cleaned in accordance with how regularly your ventilation system is used:
- Heavy use: 12-16 hours per day (every 3 months)
- Moderate use: 6-12 hours per day (every 6 months)
- Light use: 2-6 hours per day (every 12 months).
To comply with TR19 guidance, you must first determine how your duct usage would be categorised, which you can usually do by conducting a risk assessment. Refer to “TR 19® Internal Cleanliness Of Ventilation Systems: A Guide To Good Practice” for BESA’s monitoring, inspection, and testing/frequency recommendations. If you’re unsure and would like guidance on how often your ductwork should be cleaned, we would be happy to conduct a free site inspection.
Is industrial duct cleaning a legal requirement?
In the UK, employers must provide a safe and healthy environment for their employees, as stipulated in the Health & Safety at Work Act (1974). Compliance with these standards isn’t optional – it’s a legal duty. Our industrial duct cleaning process is aligned with current compliance requirements, including fire safety regulations and air quality standards. We help clients meet industry standards as well as insurance obligations. Dirty ducts are likely to have a negative impact on air quality and are not conducive to a healthy work environment. Cleaning your ducts regularly and in compliance with TR19 is an effective way of ensuring your industrial ductwork is legally sound and is an important step in avoiding the invalidation of your insurance policy.
Every project is documented in line with health and safety compliance requirements – we provide an insurance-compliant hygiene certificate for your records, and high-definition video inspection of your ventilation system is available on request. With Deduct Ltd, you can operate with complete confidence that your facility meets its legal responsibilities.
