When to call us in Arnos Grove
Ductwork is hidden above ceilings and in risers, so nobody sees the build-up. Grilles may be wiped, but the ducts behind them rarely are.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Bowes Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

Ventilation duct cleaning in Arnos Grove
We cover Arnos Grove and the rest of Greater London for ventilation duct cleaning, from offices and schools to hospitals, care homes and shops. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. If you’re dealing with ducts that need a clean before handover and dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years, we can help.
Many London buildings have had their ventilation extended and altered through several fit-outs, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. In Arnos Grove, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Arnos Grove is normally out of hours.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.

FAQs for Arnos Grove
What do you need to know about parking in Arnos Grove?

Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Arnos Grove in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 42 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Arnos Grove. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work in Arnos Grove?
Yes. Arnos Grove is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What does TR19 Air cover?
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that covers general supply and extract ventilation, beyond the kitchen. It works on inspection and risk, while TR19® Grease covers kitchen extract systems.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.

There’s no single interval; under TR19® Air, inspection decides. Each report recommends when the system should next be inspected.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes. We clean the grilles and diffusers along with the ductwork, so the room side is clean too.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Extract ductwork

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
