Ventilation duct cleaning in Hampstead, done properly
Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. The work covers supply ductwork, offices and schools and hospitals and care homes, and the jobs we see most are systems missing access panels and dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms.
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 Hampstead, dust and debris build up in the units and ductwork over time.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, with pictures before and after. If access panels are needed, we’ll say where.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
Hampstead buildings and their air
Food Standards Agency data includes about 67 schools, colleges and universities, about 55 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 23 hotels and guest houses across Hampstead and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. Getting kit to a London plant room normally means lifts, stairs and an agreed loading slot. Hampstead’s nearest hospital, New End Hospital, is about less than half a mile north. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.
Hospitals such as New End Hospital (about under half a mile north) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Hampstead are no different. If you manage offices or shops near Finchley Road & Frognal station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours. For schools like Fitzjohn's Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Hampstead
Can you come to Hampstead after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Hampstead can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 67 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hampstead. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s 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.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What does TR19 Air cover?
It covers ventilation hygiene for supply and extract systems in offices, schools, hospitals and other buildings. Kitchen extract is covered separately, by TR19® Grease.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.

What else we do in Hampstead
Why deal with it now?
A clean system moves air more easily, which takes strain off the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. A busy site in Hampstead builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What you get with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Each visit written up, with photos
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Survey first, then a fixed quote

How the visit works
We turn up 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. The work itself takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Hampstead saves time on the night.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Offices and schools
- Supply ductwork
- General extract ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
- Grilles and diffusers
- Toilet extract systems
Different parts, different methods
Supply ductwork
Supply ductwork delivers conditioned air to each room. Fine dust that gets past the filters settles along the runs, and we remove it through access panels.
Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. Clearing the duct helps the fan do its job.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
