Ventilation duct cleaning for sites in Craig's End

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Craig's End?

Ductwork is hidden above ceilings and in risers, so dust collects unseen. Grilles may be wiped, but the ducts behind them rarely are.

Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
  • Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
  • Odours carried round the building by the ducts
  • Blocked general extract ductwork

In Craig's End, supply and extract ducts are cleaned along with the units that serve them.

Questions to ask before you book

  • If they look at the system before pricing
  • Whether they recommend a next date
  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed

About our ventilation duct cleaning in Craig's End

A dusty duct in a building in Craig's End is more than an eyesore. It slows the air, strains the fans and can be blown back out of the grilles. A clean puts the system back as it should be. The work covers general extract ductwork, grilles and diffusers and supply ductwork, and common reasons people get in touch are damp or stale smells from grilles and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected.

Somewhere as small as Craig's End, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.

Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What a clean will not put right

Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:

  • Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
  • Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
  • Problems with how the system is controlled

Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on in Craig's End

  • Offices and schools
  • Hospitals and care homes
  • Grilles and diffusers
  • General extract ductwork
  • Toilet extract systems
  • Supply ductwork

Between visits

Once we have finished, these simple steps help:

  • Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
  • Report dust blowing from grilles right away
  • Keep filters changed on time
  • Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends

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 moisture makes dust stick.

Why act early in Craig's End

An inspection-led approach avoids cleaning ducts that don’t need it. Putting the inspection off just means you do not know where you stand. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Why book with us

  • One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
  • CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
  • Every job surveyed first
  • Full insurance on every job

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Craig's End

Can you work in Craig's End outside opening hours?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.

Is ventilation duct cleaning available in Craig's End?

Yes, we work in Craig's End and the places around it. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with a few details of the site.

What do you do with what you remove?

It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.

Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?

Yes, both a certificate and a photo report. It also notes unreached sections and a recommended next inspection.

What happens if parts of the ductwork can’t be reached?

Accessible sections are cleaned and the others recorded. Extra access panels can solve it, and we can quote for them.

What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?

The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.

What’s TR19?

TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.

What happens on the day

A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Craig's End.

  1. First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
  2. We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
  3. The work area is protected and the system switched off.
  4. We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
  5. We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.

Preparing for the visit

  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site
  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Ask for a quote

For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
