Why it’s worth doing now in Custom House
Dust streaks around grilles and stale rooms suggest the ducts need looking at. Acting early keeps the clean simpler. It’s better booked as a planned job in Custom House than handled as an emergency.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

About our ventilation duct cleaning in Custom House
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. The work covers offices and schools, general extract ductwork and grilles and diffusers, and common reasons people get in touch are dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms and rooms that feel airless when the system runs.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. In Custom House, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Custom House
Can you work in Custom House outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Custom House can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How do you handle parking and loading in Custom House?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
What does TR19 Air cover?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. TR19® Air takes an inspection-led, risk-based approach.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What if there are not enough access panels?
We clean what we can reach and note the rest. Fitting access panels tends to be the answer, and we can quote for them.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract ductwork
Toilet and washroom extract can carry moisture as well as dust, so the dust tends to cling. They’re cleaned and their condition recorded.
Supply ductwork
Supply ducts carry air from the AHU into the rooms. Fine dust that gets past the filters settles along the runs, and we remove it through access panels.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Log every filter change
- Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so the history stays together. Over time, it shows how quickly the system gets dirty.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Building management settings that run the plant
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Custom House is usually out of hours.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
