About our ventilation duct cleaning in Addiscombe
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after photos. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, so you have it all on record. We are often asked to deal with dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years and blocked general extract ductwork, on supply ductwork, toilet extract systems and grilles and diffusers.
London buildings often depend on air handling units in plant rooms or on the roof to supply fresh air. For a building in Addiscombe, dust settles in the units and ducts year after year, which is what TR19® Air cleaning deals with.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- A few general shots of the system
- 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
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. If your building in Addiscombe has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- A certificate and before and after pictures follow, with anything not reached recorded.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

How the job changes from site to site
Offices and retail
Offices and shops tend to need the work done outside opening hours so staff and customers are not disturbed.
Grilles and diffusers
Every duct ends at a grille or diffuser in the room. They’re cleaned along with the ductwork, so dust on them is not blown back in.
Ventilation in Addiscombe buildings
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 28 schools, colleges and universities, about 95 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 9 hotels and guest houses with registered kitchens or food service across Addiscombe 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. Addiscombe’s nearest hospital, National Psychosis Unit, is about 1.5 miles east. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital. London plant rooms are often on roofs or in basements reached through occupied floors.
School buildings such as Oasis Academy Shirley Park are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed. Healthcare buildings such as National Psychosis Unit, about 1.5 miles east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Addiscombe, yours matters too.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Keep filters changed on time
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so it’s all in one place. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Fit access panels where the ductwork cannot be reached. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
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.
FAQs for Addiscombe
Can you work in Addiscombe outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Addiscombe in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Addiscombe, the Food Standards Agency lists about 28 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in Addiscombe?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Why deal with it now?
A clean system moves air more easily, which puts less load on the fans. Leaving them means the plant works harder for the same result. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
