Ventilation duct cleaning in Bickley

Ventilation duct cleaning in Bickley, done properly

We cover Bickley and the rest of Greater London for ventilation duct cleaning, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. Typical jobs include supply ducts with years of dust inside and musty smells from the ventilation, on toilet extract systems, offices and schools and hospitals and care homes.

London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. In Bickley, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.

We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

The process

Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. In Bickley, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.

  1. First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
  2. Access panels are opened along each run.
  3. Before photos are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
  4. We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
  5. After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Ask for a quote

Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Bickley

You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:

  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Helping us quote

What to send for a quote:

  • A few general shots of the system
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • Any previous report or certificate
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Bickley

Can a school’s ventilation in Bickley be done out of term time?

Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 14 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Bickley. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.

Does London parking affect a job in Bickley?

We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.

Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?

Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

What should I send you?

Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.

Are grilles and diffusers included?

Yes, together with the ductwork. They show up in the photo report before and after.

Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?

In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.

Do you work in Bickley?

Yes. Our technicians work in Bickley, within the South East and London area we cover.

When something else is needed

We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning won’t do:

  • Ventilation that is undersized for the building
  • Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
  • Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead

Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Toilet extract systems
  • Supply ductwork
  • Grilles and diffusers
  • General extract ductwork
  • Hospitals and care homes
  • Offices and schools

Why deal with it now?

Smells, dust around grilles and stuffy rooms are signs the system needs attention. Acting early keeps the clean simpler. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

What you get with us

  • Survey first, then a fixed quote
  • A fixed price before any work starts
  • Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
  • Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

What ventilation duct cleaning looks like in Bickley

The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 14 schools, colleges and universities, about 38 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses with registered kitchens or food service across Bickley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. Getting kit to a London plant room normally means lifts, stairs and an agreed loading slot. About 1 mile south of Bickley is Bridgeways Day Hospital, the nearest hospital. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.

Looking after it afterwards

After the visit, a few habits help the work last:

  • Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
  • Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
  • File each ventilation report with the building records
  • Keep grilles and diffusers dusted

You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.

Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.
