Ventilation cleaning is about air quality, reduced fire risk and documented compliance.
PTSG Fire Solutions cleans general ventilation systems to TR19, with pre- and post-clean documentation that shows exactly what condition your system was in and what was done.
What is ventilation cleaning?
Ventilation cleaning is the mechanical cleaning of supply and extract ductwork, plenums, grilles and diffusers in general ventilation systems. It is separate from kitchen extract cleaning, which is covered by its own specification.
TR19 sets the cleanliness standards for ventilation systems. Regular cleaning is increasingly expected by insurers, and evidence of it forms part of the documentation required under the Building Safety Act.

Frequently Asked Questions
TR19 recommends inspection every two years, with cleaning carried out when contamination exceeds acceptable limits. Higher-occupancy or process-intensive environments may need more frequent attention.
Yes. Dust build-up increases airflow resistance, so fans have to work harder and use more energy. PTSG can take before-and-after pressure measurements to quantify the improvement.
Many HVAC manufacturers require evidence of periodic ductwork cleaning to keep warranties valid. PTSG’s TR19 certificates provide that documentation.
