The Overlooked Risk

A dental ventilation system moving air is not the same as measured performance

A dental surgery may have:

  • No suitable ventilation
  • A ventilation system not designed for clinical use
  • Ventilation whose performance has never been verified

A room by room assessment establishes what is required in your dental surgery.

1 in 10

inspected each year

CQC inspect around 10% of dental practices. An inspection should NOT be the first time you discover a problem.

45% of BREACHES

involved Regulation 12

45% of breaches involved Regulation 12 in the first year of the CQC’s revised dental inspection program. Regulation 12 covers safe care & treatment, including ventilation & infection control.

Up to 50%

ventilation unverified

Estimates suggest up to half of healthcare premises have ventilation that is absent, unsuitable or unverified.

We recently had building work carried out at Whetstone Smiles Dental Practice, and we are extremely pleased with the results. The workmanship was truly one of a kind, with an amazing layout and excellent attention to detail throughout. Everything was completed to a very high standard, and the whole process was smooth, professional, and well organised. What impressed us most was how clean and tidy the work was kept, with very little dirt or disruption made during the project. It’s clear a lot of care, skill, and pride went into the work. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality building work. Thank you for transforming our practice so beautifully!

Fantastic builder and would highly recommend. Built an extension for me and from start to finish was great. No hidden costs, great communication/ knowledge throughout and flagged up potential issues we might have further down the line. His team were fantastic, they were tidy and cared for our neighbours/ property. I look forward to working with Matt and his team again in the future.

We hired Matt and his brilliant team in June to build an art studio at the back of our house. We have used many building contractors in the past and Fibre Construction has been by a mile the best. Matt is very hands on and knows exactly what's happening on the project. Matt really really cares about what he does. He has a very good eye for detail and between us we often tweaked the design. This flexibility meant that we ended up with an amazing new studio which surpassed all our expectations. Matt has some amazing tradesman working for him, from Dean the joiner who was exceptional and nothing was to much trouble, to 'Big Josh' the electrician who had to keep drilling new channels due to us changing our minds and Tom the plumber (who I don't think ever sleeps!) who managed to leave no trace of pipework! Must not forget Fran whose plastering thankfully is better than his singing! Thanks chaps - you were amazing. There were no hidden costs on the job - what we agreed at the start is what we paid. Matt always stuck to all the deadlines and always made himself available. Not once during the 4 months did Matt let us down. Matt is a real perfectionist and finishes things really well (which is what lets most builders down) - he was there on the last day brushing off any loose cement on the brickwork, making sure all the exterior looks good and helping to finish off any little touches. We would highly recommend Matt and his team. They made the whole project a memorable and often fun experience.

Dental ventilation System FAQ’S

Yes. HTM compliance requires documented testing and validation, not just working extraction. A system can move air and still fail an audit.

Depending on severity, you may receive a Requirement Notice, a Warning Notice, or in serious cases enforcement action affecting your registration. Getting ahead of it is far cheaper than reacting to it.

We assess each room’s clinical function, volume, and use case against HTM 03-01 requirements, then measure your existing system’s actual output against that target — giving you a clear compliant/non-compliant answer per room, not a guess.

Most single-surgery surveys can be completed in a single visit, with a written report and recommendations following within days.

The full HTM 03-01 compliance inspection is a fixed £300, covering every treatment and decontamination room on site. If we find remedial work is needed and you proceed with the works, that £300 is credited in full against the job.

ThHTM 01-05 is best-practice guidance for private practices and is expected by CQC under Regulation 12. In practice, private and NHS-mixed dental practices are held to the same standard.

NOT A BOX TO TICK. A STANDARD TO MAINTAIN.

What Compliance Actually Means

Verified with physical testing, never estimated.

Clean air supplied at high level and extracted near the point of risk, keeping corridors safe.

A clear strategy justifying the ventilation setup for every single room based on its clinical use.

An up-to-date paper trail ready for CQC inspection at any moment.

Formally designated Authorised and Competent Persons on record, as HTM guidelines mandate.
