Bankside questions
Can you come to Bankside after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Bankside keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Bankside in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 78 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bankside. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Where they can be removed, they’re taken down, cleaned and refitted. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
How much time does a ventilation clean need?
Work on site takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. We will know more after the survey, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us to get started.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
TR19® Air deals with general ventilation, while TR19® Grease deals with kitchen extract. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
Do you survey the system first?
Yes, on every job. We check the layout, access and condition before giving a fixed quote.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Bankside, done properly
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Keeping the ducts clean is a sensible part of looking after them, as much as clean filters and a well-kept AHU. We’re often asked to deal with systems missing access panels and construction dust left in ducts after a refit, across grilles and diffusers, supply ductwork and offices and schools.
In London, plant rooms are often in basements or on roofs reached through occupied floors, so ventilation cleaning in Bankside is typically planned out of hours. Parking and loading are agreed with the building in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Bankside.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Bankside buildings and their air
Food Standards Agency records list about 78 schools, colleges and universities, about 50 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 129 hotels and guest houses registered as food businesses in Bankside and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. Royal Waterloo Hospital for Children and Women is the nearest hospital, about 0.6 miles west of Bankside. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too. Many London buildings have had their ductwork altered through several fit-outs, so an inspection comes first.
Royal Waterloo Hospital for Children and Women, about 0.6 miles west, is the nearest hospital to Bankside, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean. Workplaces around London Blackfriars station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts. Wherever a school like London Nautical School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
Bankside is about 1 mile north of London, in Greater London. Whether your site is in the middle of Bankside or further out, ventilation duct cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Bankside is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover for commercial clients.
Work in SE1, EC4Y and EC4V follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. We cover sites on Bear Lane, Bush Lane and Swan Lane and the roads around them. Being close to the A201 and A300, Bankside is easy for our technicians to reach for ventilation duct cleaning. We also cover Blackfriars (1 mile north-west), Temple (1 mile north-west), Temple Bar (1 mile north-west), Waterloo (1 mile south-west) and Smithfield (1 mile north). Within a short drive, we also cover Kensington (4 miles west), Walthamstow (6 miles north-east), Hampstead (5 miles north-west), Ruislip (14 miles west), Brompton (3 miles west) and Stockwell (3 miles south).

How the job changes from site to site
Offices and retail
Shared systems in multi-let buildings need access to several areas. We plan access with the managing agent.
Hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, there’s no quiet time. The work is sequenced with staff so care carries on.
Why act early in Bankside
After building work, cleaning the ventilation before people move back in makes sense. Otherwise construction dust left in the ducts is blown out once the system runs. A busy site in Bankside builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
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’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
