What we’re called out for in Collier Row
Planned maintenance tends to focus on fans and filters, not the ducts. Plant can be well serviced while the ductwork goes untouched for years.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Musty smells from the ventilation
For schools like Rise Park Infant School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Collier Row
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Over time, both collect dust and debris, some of which ends up back in the rooms. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. If you have odours carried round the building by the ducts and dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers, we can put it right, from grilles and diffusers, general extract ductwork and offices and schools onwards.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. In Collier Row, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Why it’s worth doing now in Collier Row
Where a building in Collier Row serves patients, residents or children, putting off ventilation cleaning is hard to justify. Good indoor air starts with a clean system. Planning ahead in Collier Row lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Do not let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.
What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Collier Row is normally done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before photos are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
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.

Collier Row questions
Can a school’s ventilation in Collier Row be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 17 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Collier Row. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Collier Row?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Collier Row makes the visit easier to plan. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
It takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. The size of the system and the access make the biggest difference.
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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Different parts, different methods
Offices and retail
Shared systems in multi-let buildings need access to several areas. Access is agreed with the building manager.
Supply ductwork
Anything in a supply duct can end up in the rooms it feeds. We clean the runs so it is not blown back in.
