What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead

About our ventilation duct cleaning in Blackheath
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. Common call-outs are for ducts that need a clean before handover and ductwork with too few access panels to clean, across offices and schools, grilles and diffusers and supply ductwork.
Somewhere as small as Blackheath, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Blackheath
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
When to call us in Blackheath
Ductwork is hidden above ceilings and in risers, so dust collects unseen. The grilles get a wipe, but what’s behind them does not.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
If you manage offices or shops near Chilworth station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours.

Why act early in Blackheath
If a building in Blackheath has just been refitted, now is the time to clean the ductwork. Otherwise construction dust left in the ducts is blown out once the system runs. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Blackheath questions
Do you cover smaller places like Blackheath?
Yes. Blackheath is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can a school’s ventilation in Blackheath be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Blackheath. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
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 TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Different parts, different methods
Offices and retail
Offices and shops tend to need the work done outside opening hours so staff and customers aren’t disturbed.
Supply ductwork
We check supply ducts at intervals along each run to see where cleaning is needed.
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building, and we clear up before we go. The timing of a visit to Blackheath is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
