How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Chingford Mount
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that deals with general supply and extract ventilation. It’s risk-based and inspection-led, so every job starts with a look inside the ducts. Common call-outs are for ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and odours carried round the building by the ducts, across toilet extract systems, supply ductwork and general extract ductwork.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. In Chingford Mount, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
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, ready for your insurer.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Different parts, different methods
Grilles and diffusers
Where they come out, grilles are taken down and cleaned, then put back.
Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. Clearing the duct helps the fan do its job.
What affects the quote in Chingford Mount
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. In a London area like Chingford Mount, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Advice
When to call us in Chingford Mount
Why does it matter?: dirt in the ducts can come back out of the grilles, slow the air and add strain on fans. In hospitals, care homes and schools, clean air is especially important.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
School buildings such as Lime Academy Larkswood are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.
Questions to ask before booking
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What insurance they carry
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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 and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
