Ventilation duct cleaning in Hackbridge, done properly
We cover Hackbridge and the rest of Greater London for ventilation duct cleaning, from offices and schools to hospitals, care homes and shops. Every job begins with a survey and a fixed quote. We’re often asked to deal with ventilation full of debris from building work and rooms that feel airless when the system runs, on grilles and diffusers, toilet extract systems and offices and schools.
Many London buildings have had their ventilation extended and altered through several fit-outs, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Hackbridge.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How the job changes from site to site
Supply ductwork
Supply runs are inspected at set points first before deciding what to clean.
Schools and colleges
Schools and colleges are easiest to clean during the holidays, when classrooms are empty.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Leave it or put it right?
Where a building in Hackbridge serves patients, residents or children, putting off ventilation cleaning is hard to justify. Good indoor air starts with a clean system. In Hackbridge, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will explain what it covers.

Hackbridge questions
Do you work overnight in Hackbridge?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Hackbridge keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What do you need to know about parking in Hackbridge?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Hackbridge makes the visit easier to plan. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit normally gets round them.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in Hackbridge?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes. Grilles and diffusers are cleaned as part of the job, so dust is not left at the outlets.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Hackbridge.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Hackbridge buildings and their air
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 30 schools, colleges and universities and about 41 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) serving food within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hackbridge. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. Wilson Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 0.5 miles south-west of Hackbridge. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes. Getting kit to a London plant room usually means lifts, stairs and an agreed loading slot.
If you run an office near Mitcham Eastfields station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside. For schools like St Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation. Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Wilson Hospital (about 0.5 miles south-west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning won’t do:
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Building management settings that run the plant
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
