Ventilation duct cleaning around Hobbs Cross
Hobbs Cross’s nearest hospital, St. Margaret's Hospital, is about 2.3 miles north. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale. At about 15 miles from central London, Hobbs Cross sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Wherever a school like St John's Church of England Voluntary Controlled School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

Ventilation duct cleaning in Hobbs Cross, done properly
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Dust and debris build up in both, some of which ends up back in the rooms. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. If you’re dealing with dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers and extract ducts clogged with lint and dust, we can put it right.
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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Common problems we fix in Hobbs Cross
Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Condensation and leaks turn loose dust into a stubborn layer, and it becomes harder to remove.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
St. Margaret's Hospital, about 2.3 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Hobbs Cross, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Hobbs Cross.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
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 they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

Yes, Hobbs Cross is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Get in touch with the details and we’ll arrange a survey.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. 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.

Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes. You get a certificate with the date, location and technician, plus a photo report.

What if there aren’t enough access panels?
The report shows exactly which parts weren’t reached. Access panels can be added where necessary.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
