About our ventilation duct cleaning in Havering-atte-Bower
Beyond the kitchen, TR19® Air covers the ordinary supply and extract systems that serve offices, schools and other buildings. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so every job starts with a look inside the ducts. If you’re dealing with rooms that feel airless when the system runs and damp or stale smells from grilles, we can help, from toilet extract systems, general extract ductwork and hospitals and care homes onwards.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Common problems we fix in Havering-atte-Bower
Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Systems missing access panels
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Harold Wood Hospital (about 2.5 miles south-east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed

FAQs for Havering-atte-Bower
Can you work in Havering-atte-Bower outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Havering-atte-Bower keeps running as normal. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Havering-atte-Bower in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Havering-atte-Bower, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How much time does a ventilation clean need?
Typically, the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Bigger sites are split into stages, and we’ll confirm the plan when we quote.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. For a village or hamlet like Havering-atte-Bower, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Don’t let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.
