How we price ventilation duct cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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 will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
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 send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Golders Green
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, so you have it all on record. We are often asked to deal with supply ducts with years of dust inside and poor airflow from the vents, across toilet extract systems, general extract ductwork and grilles and diffusers.
Many London buildings have had their ventilation extended and altered through several fit-outs, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Golders Green.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Golders Green needs from us.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.

Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 50 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Golders Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
Keep up with filter changes to protect the ducts. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
