Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Barnehurst
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Barnehurst and right across Greater London, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. The work covers toilet extract systems, general extract ductwork and supply ductwork, and the jobs we see most are dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers and ventilation full of debris from building work.
In London, plant rooms are often in basements or on roofs reached through occupied floors, so ventilation cleaning in Barnehurst is typically planned out of hours. Loading and parking are planned with the building first.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What else we do in Barnehurst
The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Barnehurst.
- 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.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Different parts, different methods
Schools and colleges
Classrooms full of people, paper and coats produce plenty of dust. Inspection shows when cleaning is due.
Hospitals and care homes
In care settings, keeping dust contained is a priority. We protect the work area and take everything away.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
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 is our job.
Common questions in Barnehurst
Can you work in Barnehurst outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Barnehurst keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Is parking a problem for work in Barnehurst?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Barnehurst makes the visit easier to plan. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
What is TR19® Air?
It covers ventilation hygiene for supply and extract systems in offices, schools, hospitals and other buildings. Kitchen extract systems fall under TR19® Grease instead.
Do you survey the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from photos, drawings or a site visit, then we send you a fixed quote.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Stick to the filter change schedule
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning won’t do:
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
