Ventilation duct cleaning across East Dulwich

Ventilation duct cleaning in East Dulwich, done properly

We cover East Dulwich and the rest of Greater London for ventilation duct cleaning, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Every job begins with a survey and a fixed quote. Common call-outs are for odours carried round the building by the ducts and rooms that feel airless when the system runs, across toilet extract systems, grilles and diffusers and hospitals and care homes.

London buildings often depend on air handling units in plant rooms or on the roof to supply fresh air. In a building in East Dulwich, dust and debris build up in the units and ductwork over time, which is what TR19® Air cleaning deals with.

We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning

Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • The times the site is available

A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

Helping us quote

A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:

  • Any previous report or certificate
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

East Dulwich buildings and their air

The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 65 schools, colleges and universities, about 54 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses with registered kitchens or food service across East Dulwich and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. Many London buildings have had their ductwork altered through several fit-outs, so an inspection comes first. For East Dulwich, the closest hospital is Dulwich Community Hospital, roughly under half a mile south-east. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.

Dulwich Community Hospital, about within half a mile south-east, is the nearest hospital to East Dulwich, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean. If you manage a school such as Dog Kennel Hill School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

How the visit works

There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in East Dulwich is no exception.

  1. First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
  2. Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
  3. We cover the area below and turn off the system.
  4. Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
  5. The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the space around the work
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Let us know about parking and loading

Advice

East Dulwich: your questions answered

Can you work in East Dulwich outside opening hours?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Can parking be tricky for a job in East Dulwich?

Tell us where a van can stop near your site in East Dulwich, and about any building rules on loading. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.

Who has the legal duty for fire safety?

It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

What if there are not enough access panels?

The report shows exactly which parts weren’t reached. Access panels can be added where needed.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.

How much notice should we give?

For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

When something else is needed

We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:

  • Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
  • Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
  • Ventilation that is undersized for the building

If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Where we work

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

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in East Dulwich

Filters never catch everything, so fine dust settles in supply ductwork over the years. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.

The symptoms we are asked about most are:

  • Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
  • Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
  • Supply ducts with years of dust inside
  • Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning

If you run an office near East Dulwich station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside.

What your quote should include

  • Whether the figure could change on the day
  • If they look at the system before pricing
  • Proof of insurance
  • Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

Why deal with it now?

Dust in ducts doesn’t go away on its own. Every year adds to the job, and more of it finds its way back into the building. In East Dulwich, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.

The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

What you get with us

  • Photo reports with every job
  • Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
  • Fully insured
  • Every job surveyed first

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

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, which is where we come in.
