What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. If your building in Hackney Marshes has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- 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

Ventilation duct cleaning in Hackney Marshes, done properly
Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. The work covers grilles and diffusers, hospitals and care homes and general extract ductwork, and common reasons people get in touch are dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms and dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years.
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. In a building in Hackney Marshes, dust and debris build up in the units and ductwork over time.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Hackney Marshes: your questions answered
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Hackney Marshes in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Hackney Marshes, the Food Standards Agency lists about 31 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Hackney Marshes?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Hackney Marshes makes the visit easier to plan. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What if there aren’t enough access panels?
We list any unreached sections on the report, with the reason. We can fit new access panels so they’re covered next time.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Common problems we fix in Hackney Marshes
Filters never catch everything, so fine dust settles in supply ductwork over the years. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Systems missing access panels
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Musty smells from the ventilation
Homerton University Hospital, about 0.8 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Hackney Marshes, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.
Before booking anyone
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Why act early in Hackney Marshes
An inspection-led approach avoids cleaning ducts that do not need it. Skipping it leaves you guessing. For a site in Hackney Marshes, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.

What affects the quote in Hackney Marshes
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What ventilation duct cleaning looks like in Hackney Marshes
Food Standards Agency records list about 31 schools, colleges and universities, about 53 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered as food businesses in and around Hackney Marshes, up to about a mile and a half out. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. London plant rooms are often on roofs or in basements reached through occupied floors. Homerton University Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 0.8 miles south-west of Hackney Marshes. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.
School buildings such as Kingsmead Primary School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed. Workplaces around Lea Bridge station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.
