About our ventilation duct cleaning in Heston
In a building in Heston, the people inside spend hours breathing what the ventilation delivers. Keeping the ducts clean is a sensible part of looking after them, as much as clean filters and a well-kept AHU. The work covers supply ductwork, grilles and diffusers and toilet extract systems, and the jobs we see most are extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years.
London buildings often depend on air handling units in plant rooms or on the roof to supply fresh air. In a building in Heston, dust and debris build up in the units and ductwork over time.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
Keep up with filter changes to protect the ducts. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as moisture makes dust stick.

Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. Ventilation cleaning in London buildings is usually planned for evenings or weekends.

The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Heston saves time on the night.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before photos are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
FAQs for Heston
Can ventilation in schools around Heston be cleaned out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 37 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Heston, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Heston?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Heston, and about any building rules on loading. Working overnight, as we often do in London, usually makes it simpler.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes, along with the ducts behind them. You will see them in the before and after pictures.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Do you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. The work is planned around the building’s hours. Schools are often done in the holidays and offices out of hours.
Part by part
Supply ductwork
We check supply ducts at intervals along each run to see where cleaning is needed.
Schools and colleges
Schools and colleges are easiest to clean during the holidays, when classrooms are empty.
When to call us in Heston
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.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
If you manage a school such as Westbrook Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
What to look for in a quote
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
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.
