Ventilation duct cleaning in Charlton, Greater London
Ventilation duct cleaning for commercial sites in Charlton and across Greater London. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Protect the system from construction dust
Before any works, think about the ducts. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as moisture makes dust stick.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Charlton, done properly
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. The work covers hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and offices and schools, and people most often call us about supply ducts with years of dust inside and stuffy rooms and stale air.
Many London buildings have had their ventilation extended and altered through several fit-outs, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Charlton.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
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. That’s our job.
The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Charlton.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Ventilation in Charlton buildings
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 41 schools, colleges and universities, about 44 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 4 hotels and guest houses serving food across Charlton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. Getting kit to a London plant room typically means lifts, stairs and an agreed loading slot. British Hospital for Mothers and Babies is the nearest hospital, about 0.5 miles east of Charlton. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
Wherever a school like Thorntree Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time. For workplaces around Charlton station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends. Healthcare buildings such as British Hospital for Mothers and Babies, about 0.5 miles east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Charlton, yours matters too.

Charlton: your questions answered
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Charlton in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 41 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Charlton. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Does London parking affect a job in Charlton?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.

What affects the quote in Charlton
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The times the site is available
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. 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
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning won’t do:
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
