What ventilation duct cleaning looks like in Coombe Hill
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 9 schools, colleges and universities and about 8 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) serving food within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Coombe Hill. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. Getting kit to a London plant room usually means lifts, stairs and an agreed loading slot. Kingston Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 1.4 miles south-west of Coombe Hill. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital.
Hospitals such as Kingston Hospital (about 1.4 miles south-west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Coombe Hill are no different.

About our ventilation duct cleaning in Coombe Hill
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Clean ducts are part of a healthy building, as much as clean filters and a well-kept AHU. Typical jobs include ducts that need a clean before handover and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected, across grilles and diffusers, hospitals and care homes and supply ductwork.
Across London, offices, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings rely on mechanical ventilation, much of it supplied through air handling units on roofs or in basements. For a building in Coombe Hill, dust settles in the units and ducts year after year.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
The report lists the sections we cleaned and any we couldn’t reach, with pictures before and after. If access panels are needed, we will say where.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as moisture makes dust stick.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools and colleges
Schools and colleges are easiest to clean during the holidays, with nobody in the classrooms.
Grilles and diffusers
Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. We clean the grilles and look at what’s behind them.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
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 the price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For ventilation duct cleaning in Coombe Hill, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
FAQs for Coombe Hill
Can you work in Coombe Hill outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What do you need to know about parking in Coombe Hill?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
What does TR19 Air cover?
TR19® Air applies to the general ventilation in buildings like offices, schools and hospitals. Kitchen extract is covered separately, by TR19® Grease.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning won’t do:
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- General extract ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
- Offices and schools
- Hospitals and care homes
- Grilles and diffusers
- Supply ductwork
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. For a job in Coombe Hill, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- The area below is protected and the system switched 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

When to call us in Coombe Hill
Filters never catch everything, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
If you manage a school such as Robin Hood Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
What to look for in a quote
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What insurance they carry
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Coombe Hill and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
