Ventilation duct cleaning in Hackney, done properly
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Hackney and right across Greater London, from offices and schools to hospitals, care homes and shops. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. Common call-outs are for ductwork with too few access panels to clean and dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years, across hospitals and care homes, supply ductwork and offices and schools.
London buildings often depend on air handling units in plant rooms or on the roof to supply fresh air. In a building in Hackney, dust and debris build up in the units and ductwork over time, which is what TR19® Air cleaning deals with.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

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. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Log every filter change
- Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, backed up by before and after photos. We will suggest where new access panels would help.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.

What happens if it’s left?
Smells, dust around grilles and stuffy rooms are signs the system needs attention. Dealing with them now stops them getting worse. A busy site in Hackney builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Hackney
Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Where there’s condensation or a leak, dust clings and builds faster, and it becomes harder to remove.
Look out for any of the following:
- Systems missing access panels
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
Workplaces around Homerton station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What’s included in the scope, part by part

Questions from Hackney
Does London parking affect a job in Hackney?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Can you work in Hackney outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Hackney keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and pictures. The report lists what was cleaned, anything not reached and the next inspection date.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes, always. The survey shows the layout, the access and the condition before giving a fixed quote.
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
