The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

About our ventilation duct cleaning in Acton
We always start by inspecting. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, then recommend cleaning where it’s needed. That keeps the work in proportion to the risk. The work covers offices and schools, supply ductwork and hospitals and care homes, and common reasons people get in touch are stuffy rooms and stale air and ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection.
Many London buildings have had their ventilation extended and altered through several fit-outs, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. In Acton, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Acton
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Common questions in Acton
Is parking a problem for work in Acton?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Acton, and about any building rules on loading. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit normally gets round them.
Can you clean school ventilation in Acton during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 54 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Acton. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What is TR19® Air?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
- Building management settings that run the plant
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Grilles and diffusers

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What ventilation duct cleaning looks like in Acton
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 54 schools, colleges and universities, about 94 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 8 hotels and B&Bs serving food across Acton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. Ventilation cleaning in London buildings is normally planned for evenings or weekends. About 1.3 miles east of Acton is Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital, the nearest hospital. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.

Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital, about 1.3 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Acton, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean. If you manage a school such as Derwentwater Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one, and we clear up before we go. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Acton is no exception.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Hospitals and care homes
People in hospitals and care homes can be more vulnerable to poor air. Inspecting and cleaning to TR19® Air supports good air quality.
Extract ductwork
Extract ducts take air out of toilets, washrooms and general areas. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and restrict the flow over time.
