Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Charlton
In a building in Charlton, the people inside spend hours breathing what the ventilation delivers. Keeping the ducts clean is a sensible part of looking after them, as much as clean filters and a well-kept AHU. We’re often asked to deal with dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years and odours carried round the building by the ducts, across supply ductwork, hospitals and care homes and grilles and diffusers.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

FAQs for Charlton
Is Charlton within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Charlton is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Charlton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Charlton keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What is TR19® Air?
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that covers general supply and extract ventilation, rather than kitchen extract. It works on inspection and risk, and kitchen extract falls under TR19® Grease.
Do you provide a report?
Yes. The certificate records the date and location of the work and the technician, along with pictures before and after.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.

What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Charlton, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We survey the system from drawings, pictures or a site visit.
- Inspection comes next, with pictures of the inside of the ducts.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
If a building in Charlton 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 fault that closes a site in a village like Charlton affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

When to call us in Charlton
Planned maintenance tends to focus on fans and filters, not the ducts. A building in Charlton can have well-serviced plant and dirty ductwork at the same time.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
No. 2 New Zealand General Hospital, about 1.9 miles south-east, is the nearest hospital to Charlton, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.
What your quote should include
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What hours they’ll be on site
- If they look at the system before pricing
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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’ll take a look and send you a fixed 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. That’s our job.
Charlton buildings and their air
There are about 21 schools, colleges and universities, about 14 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses on the FSA’s food hygiene register in Charlton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. No. 2 New Zealand General Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 1.9 miles south-east of Charlton. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital. At about 16 miles from central London, Charlton sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Wherever a school like Littleton CofE Infant School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time. If you manage shops or offices close to Upper Halliford station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
