Ventilation duct cleaning in Harlington
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, so you have it all on record. The work covers supply ductwork, general extract ductwork and offices and schools, and people most often call us about toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff and damp or stale smells from grilles.
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 Harlington, dust settles in the units and ducts year after year.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Keep up with filter changes to protect the ducts. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
Fit access panels where the ductwork can’t be reached. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Harlington
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Harlington in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 11 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Harlington. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Can the work in Harlington be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Harlington needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How much time does a ventilation clean need?
Expect it to take a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. The size of the system and the access make the biggest difference.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. Where they can be removed, they’re taken down, cleaned and refitted. The rest are cleaned where they are.
Do you survey the system first?
Yes. TR19® Air is inspection-led, so we look inside the ducts at set points, with photos of the inside. Cleaning is recommended where it’s needed.

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

Grilles and diffusers
Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. The grilles are cleaned and the ducts behind inspected.
Offices and retail
Multi-let buildings may share ductwork between tenants. We plan access with the managing agent.
What we’re called out for in Harlington

- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
