Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Brompton
Inspection comes first. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, then recommend cleaning where it’s needed. That way the work matches the real condition. Typical jobs include ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection and ductwork with too few access panels to clean, across offices and schools, grilles and diffusers and supply ductwork.
Smaller buildings around Brompton often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, where they’re easy to forget. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
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.

Questions from Brompton
Can the work in Brompton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Brompton doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover smaller places like Brompton?
Yes. Brompton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
How the job changes from site to site
Offices and retail
Multi-let buildings may share ductwork between tenants. Access is agreed with the building manager.
Hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, there’s no quiet time. We plan the order of work with the site team so care carries on.
Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Brompton?
Many systems run for long hours, day after day, and every hour moves more dust through the ducts. Heavier use means faster build-up.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Systems missing access panels
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Brompton-Westbrook Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether VAT is included
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Brompton
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What happens if it’s left?
If a building in Brompton 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. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Around Brompton, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Building management settings that run the plant
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
