Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Foots Cray
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after photos. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, so you have it all on record. If you are dealing with systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and ductwork never cleaned since it was installed, we can put it right, from grilles and diffusers, toilet extract systems and supply ductwork onwards.
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 Foots Cray, dust settles in the units and ducts year after year.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean

Why deal with it now?
Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Putting the inspection off just means you do not know where you stand. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why us?
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Full insurance on every job
- A written report with photos after every visit

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Keep filters changed on time
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so it’s all in one place. Over time, it shows how quickly the system gets dirty.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.

What we are called out for in Foots Cray
In a building in Foots Cray, the ventilation may run for long hours every day, and every hour of running brings more dust with it. The busier the building, the faster it builds up.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Queen Mary's Hospital (about 0.6 miles west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- How VAT is shown on the quote

Part by part
Hospitals and care homes
Hospitals and care homes are occupied day and night. We plan the order of work with the site team so care carries on.
Grilles and diffusers
Every duct ends at a grille or diffuser in the room. They’re cleaned along with the ductwork, so dust on them is not blown back in.
How it works
The visit has three parts: 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. The middle part takes longest, which takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Foots Cray.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
