Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Hither Green
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that deals with general supply and extract ventilation. It’s risk-based and inspection-led, so we look before we clean. If you have toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff and odours carried round the building by the ducts, we can put it right, from supply ductwork, hospitals and care homes and general extract ductwork onwards.
Many London buildings have had their ventilation extended and altered through several fit-outs, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Hither Green.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Hither Green questions
Do you work at weekends in Hither Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Hither Green can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can ventilation in schools around Hither Green be cleaned out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 38 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hither Green. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. About 0.7 miles west of Hither Green is University Hospital Lewisham, the nearest hospital. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital. In London, ventilation plant is often on the roof or below ground, so the work is usually done out of hours.

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Hither Green?
It matters for the people inside: dusty ducts can blow debris back into rooms, restrict airflow and make fans work harder. In hospitals, care homes and schools, clean air is especially important.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Poor airflow from the vents
Wherever a school like Brindishe Manor School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Hither Green
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Hither Green and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Hither Green is usually out of hours.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by ventilation duct cleaning, and we will tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Hither Green
- Hospitals and care homes
- Grilles and diffusers
- General extract ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
- Offices and schools
- Supply ductwork
What happens if it’s left?
After building work, cleaning the ventilation before people move back in makes sense. Otherwise construction dust left in the ducts is blown out once the system runs. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
