Ventilation duct cleaning in Aldwych
Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Dust and debris build up in both, some of which ends up back in the rooms. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. We are often asked to deal with ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning, across hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and general extract ductwork.
London buildings tend to keep their plant on the roof or below ground, so work in Aldwych is often done in the evening or at weekends. Parking and loading are agreed with the building in advance.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why it’s worth doing now in Aldwych
In healthcare, care and education settings, ventilation cleaning is hard to put off. Clean ducts are part of providing good air for the people inside. A building in Aldwych may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When to call us in Aldwych
Moisture in ducts makes dust stick. Where there’s condensation or a leak, dust clings and builds faster, which is harder to shift later.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Poor airflow from the vents
Hospitals such as St Philip's Hospital (about under half a mile north) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Aldwych are no different.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a survey comes first
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
How the job changes from site to site
Schools and colleges
Classrooms full of people, paper and coats produce plenty of dust. Regular inspection keeps on top of it.
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers are where the ducts meet the room. We clean them as part of the job, so the room side matches the duct side.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Aldwych: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 95 schools, colleges and universities, about 60 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 234 hotels and B&Bs registered as food businesses in Aldwych and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. Many London buildings have had their ductwork altered through several fit-outs, so an inspection comes first. The nearest hospital to Aldwych is St Philip's Hospital, about less than half a mile north. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.
For schools like St Clement Danes CofE Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation. For workplaces around London Charing Cross station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
The report lists the sections we cleaned and any we couldn’t reach, backed up by before and after pictures. If access panels are needed, we will say where.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If your building in Aldwych has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
