What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
About our ventilation duct cleaning in Brondesbury
We always start by inspecting. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That keeps the work in proportion to the risk. The work covers hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and general extract ductwork, and the jobs we see most are damp or stale smells from grilles and systems missing access panels.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. In Brondesbury, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so the history stays together. Over time, it shows how quickly the system gets dirty.
Keep filters changed on time. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
Brondesbury buildings and their air
Food Standards Agency data includes about 79 schools, colleges and universities, about 57 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 14 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Brondesbury, up to about a mile and a half out. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. Brondesbury’s nearest hospital, New End Hospital, is about 1.5 miles north-east. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital. Many London buildings have had their ductwork altered through several fit-outs, so an inspection comes first.
If you run an office near Brondesbury station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside. If you manage a school such as North West London Jewish Day School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools and colleges
The work is fitted around term dates and events and agree access with the site team.
Hospitals and care homes
In care settings, keeping dust contained is a priority. The area is protected, and debris contained and removed.
Common problems we fix in Brondesbury
Many systems run for long hours, day after day, and every hour of running brings more dust with it. Heavier use means faster build-up.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
Healthcare buildings such as New End Hospital, about 1.5 miles north-east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Brondesbury, yours matters too.

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Before any visit in Brondesbury, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- A certificate and before and after pictures follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system

Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
FAQs for Brondesbury
Do you work at weekends in Brondesbury?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Brondesbury can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Can a school’s ventilation in Brondesbury be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 79 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Brondesbury. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
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. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
There’s no single interval; under TR19® Air, inspection decides. Each report recommends when the system should next be inspected.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Why deal with it now?
Dust in ducts does not go away on its own. Every year adds to the job, and the more gets blown back into the rooms. A booked night’s work in Brondesbury costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will explain what it covers.
