How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition of the system
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Hacton
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. The work covers hospitals and care homes, grilles and diffusers and toilet extract systems, and common reasons people get in touch are dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms and stuffy rooms and stale air.
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 Hacton, dust and debris build up in the units and ductwork over time.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Hacton and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
How the job changes from site to site
Hospitals and care homes
Dust control matters during work in occupied care settings. We protect the work area and take everything away.
Offices and retail
Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. Cleaning before the new occupants move in makes sense.
Hacton questions
Do you clean school ventilation in Hacton in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 24 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Hacton. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Is parking a problem for work in Hacton?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you provide a report?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How do you deal with ducts you cannot get into?
Nothing is hidden: any section we couldn’t get into is listed. We can install panels to open those sections up.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
Work on site takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. We will know more after the survey, so call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email to get started.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

What else we do in Hacton
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks, and we clear up before we go. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Hacton.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote

What ventilation duct cleaning looks like in Hacton
Food Standards Agency records list about 24 schools, colleges and universities and about 25 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises registered as food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Hacton. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. Hacton’s nearest hospital, St George's Hospital, is about 0.7 miles north-west. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too. Getting kit to a London plant room typically means lifts, stairs and an agreed loading slot.
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Scotts Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

Common problems we fix in Hacton
Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, especially when the system runs during the work. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Systems missing access panels
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
St George's Hospital, about 0.7 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to Hacton, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Watch for water stains around grilles
Before any works, think about the ducts. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Keep filters changed on time. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.
