Ventilation duct cleaning in Hanwell
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after photos. 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 supply ductwork, offices and schools and general extract ductwork, and the jobs we see most are extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers.
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. For a building in Hanwell, dust settles in the units and ducts year after year.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. In London, ventilation plant is often on the roof or below ground, so the work is typically done out of hours. Ealing Hospital is the nearest hospital, about less than half a mile west of Hanwell. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. If your building in Hanwell has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We survey the system from drawings, pictures or a site visit.
- Inspection comes next, with photos of the inside of the ducts.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

When to call us in Hanwell
Even good filters let some dust through, so fine dust settles in supply ductwork over the years. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Systems missing access panels
- Musty smells from the ventilation
Workplaces around Hanwell station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Watch for water stains around grilles
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so it’s all in one place. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as moisture makes dust stick.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Leave it or put it right?
Leave dust in the ductwork and it keeps building. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and more of it finds its way back into the building. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Hanwell: your questions answered
Can ventilation in schools around Hanwell be cleaned out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Hanwell, the Food Standards Agency lists about 46 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
Can you work in Hanwell outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Hanwell doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes. The certificate records the date and location of the work and the technician, along with pictures before and after.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. Grilles and diffusers are cleaned as part of the job, so the room side is clean too.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
