Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
The report lists the sections we cleaned and any we couldn’t reach, backed up by before and after pictures. We will suggest where new access panels would help.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Bow, done properly
Dust in ventilation ductwork isn’t only a cleanliness issue. It slows the air, strains the fans and can be blown back out of the grilles. Cleaning restores the clear airway the system was designed with. If you are dealing with ductwork never cleaned since it was installed and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning, we can help.
London buildings often depend on air handling units in plant rooms or on the roof to supply fresh air. In a building in Bow, dust and debris build up in the units and ductwork over time.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Ventilation in Bow buildings
Food Standards Agency data includes about 65 schools, colleges and universities, about 45 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 17 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Bow. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. The nearest hospital to Bow is St Clement's Hospital, about under half a mile south. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients. London plant rooms are often on roofs or in basements reached through occupied floors.
For schools like Old Ford Primary - A Paradigm Academy, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation. Hospitals such as St Clement's Hospital (about within half a mile south) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Bow are no different.

What we are called out for in Bow
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Blocked general extract ductwork
If you manage offices or shops near Hackney Wick station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours.

Why act early in Bow
Where a building in Bow serves patients, residents or children, putting off ventilation cleaning is hard to justify. Clean ducts are part of providing good air for the people inside. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
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. Leave those to us.
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

FAQs for Bow
Does London parking affect a job in Bow?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Bow makes the visit easier to plan. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Bow in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 65 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Bow. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes. You get a certificate with the date, location and technician, plus a photo report.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What is TR19® Air?
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that covers general supply and extract ventilation, beyond the kitchen. It works on inspection and risk, while TR19® Grease covers kitchen extract systems.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If your building in Bow has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Inspection comes next, with photos of the inside of the ducts.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
