About our ventilation duct cleaning in Charing Cross
Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. Typical jobs include damp or stale smells from grilles and blocked general extract ductwork, on hospitals and care homes, grilles and diffusers and general extract ductwork.
Many London buildings have had their ventilation extended and altered through several fit-outs, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. In Charing Cross, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Charing Cross
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Charing Cross and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Log every filter change
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
Fit access panels where the ductwork cannot be reached. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools and colleges
Schools and colleges are easiest to clean during the holidays, when classrooms are empty.
Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. A clean duct takes the load off.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one, and we clear up before we go. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Charing Cross.
- 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.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Can a school’s ventilation in Charing Cross be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 75 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Charing Cross. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can the work in Charing Cross be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
What happens if parts of the ductwork cannot be reached?
The report shows exactly which parts weren’t reached. Access panels can be added where necessary.
Do you cover Charing Cross?
Yes. Our technicians work in Charing Cross, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
