How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Eltham
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. Typical jobs include ducts that need a clean before handover and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected, across supply ductwork, toilet extract systems and hospitals and care homes.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. In Eltham, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Protect the system from construction dust
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Diary it straight away so it is not missed.
Protect the system during building work by switching it off or covering the grilles.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. In Eltham, as across London, we typically work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Ventilation duct cleaning in Eltham: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 34 schools, colleges and universities and about 33 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises with registered kitchens or food service within about 1.5 miles of central Eltham. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. In London, ventilation plant is often on the roof or below ground, so the work is typically done out of hours. About less than half a mile north of Eltham is Eltham Community Hospital, the nearest hospital. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.

What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning will not do:
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Eltham
- Supply ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
- Hospitals and care homes
- Offices and schools
- General extract ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers
Different parts, different methods
Grilles and diffusers
Dust marks around grilles can point to dirt further back in the system. The grilles are cleaned and the ducts behind inspected.
Extract ductwork
Extract fans pull air through these ducts, so a blocked duct strains them. Clearing the duct helps the fan do its job.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
FAQs for Eltham
Do you work at weekends in Eltham?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Eltham doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Eltham in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 34 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Eltham. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How much time does a ventilation clean need?
Typically, the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Bigger sites are split into stages, to fit around the building.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes. We clean the grilles and diffusers along with the ductwork, so dust is not left at the outlets.
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.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Leave it or put it right?
Where a building in Eltham serves patients, residents or children, putting off ventilation cleaning is hard to justify. Clean ducts are part of providing good air for the people inside. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
