Aftercare tips

Once we have finished, these simple steps help:

  • Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
  • Keep filters changed on time
  • Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
  • Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work

If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.

Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.

Ventilation duct cleaning in Hampstead Garden Suburb

Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. If you have extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning, we can put it right.

London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Hampstead Garden Suburb.

Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Hampstead Garden Suburb: your questions answered

Can you clean school ventilation in Hampstead Garden Suburb during the holidays?

Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Hampstead Garden Suburb, the Food Standards Agency lists about 36 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.

Do you work overnight in Hampstead Garden Suburb?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Hampstead Garden Suburb needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.

How long will the duct cleaning take?

Expect it to take anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. The size of the system and the access make the biggest difference.

Who has the legal duty for fire safety?

That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.

What if parts of the system can’t be reached?

They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

Is a quote from photos possible?

Typically, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.

Yes. We cover Hampstead Garden Suburb and across Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Do you provide a report?

Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log.

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Hampstead Garden Suburb

Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
  • Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
  • Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
  • Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed

Wherever a school like The Henrietta Barnett School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
  • Whether the price is fixed
  • What insurance they carry
  • How areas they can’t reach will be recorded

Our hiring checklist

The process

Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Before any visit in Hampstead Garden Suburb, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.

  1. First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
  2. Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
  3. We cover the area below and turn off the system.
  4. Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
  5. The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

How the job changes from site to site

Extract ductwork

A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. A clean duct takes the load off.

Offices and retail

Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. Cleaning before the new occupants move in makes sense.

Why deal with it now?

Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which takes strain off the fans. Leaving them means the plant works harder for the same result. In Hampstead Garden Suburb, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.

One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

When something else is needed

An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:

  • Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
  • Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
  • Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
