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 need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bow Common
We cover Bow Common and the rest of Greater London for ventilation duct cleaning, from offices and schools to hospitals, care homes and shops. Every job begins with a survey and a fixed quote. Common call-outs are for damp or stale smells from grilles and extract ducts clogged with lint and dust, on hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and offices and schools.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Bow Common.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the ventilation duct cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. For a job in Bow Common, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before photos are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

How the job changes from site to site
Supply ductwork
Dust in supply ducts can be blown straight into occupied rooms. Cleaning it deals with the source.
Extract ductwork
Extract fans pull air through these ducts, so a blocked duct strains them. A clean duct takes the load off.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A system that is not designed to move enough air
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers

Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Bow Common
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
What happens if it’s left?
In healthcare, care and education settings, ventilation cleaning is hard to put off. Good indoor air starts with a clean system. In Bow Common, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Bow Common questions
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Bow Common in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 69 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bow Common. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
How do you handle parking and loading in Bow Common?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Bow Common makes the visit easier to plan. 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. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
