About our ventilation duct cleaning in Holloway
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. If you are dealing with ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection and ventilation full of debris from building work, we can put it right.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Holloway.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, next to our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Holloway
Does London parking affect a job in Holloway?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
Do you clean school ventilation in Holloway in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 49 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Holloway. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
Do you survey the system first?
Yes. TR19® Air is inspection-led, so we look inside the ducts at set points, with pictures of the inside. We recommend cleaning where the inspection shows it’s due.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you work in Holloway?
Yes. We work in Holloway and across Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What if there aren’t enough access panels?
We list any unreached sections on the report, with the reason. We can fit new access panels so the whole system can be cleaned.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Common problems we fix in Holloway
Ventilation hygiene often gets left out of planned maintenance. A building in Holloway can have well-serviced plant and dirty ductwork at the same time.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Blocked general extract ductwork
If you manage offices or shops near Drayton Park station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours.
Questions to ask before booking
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Holloway.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before photos are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What happens if it’s left?
An inspection-led approach avoids cleaning ducts that do not need it. Skipping it leaves you guessing. A booked night’s work in Holloway costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
Fit access panels where the ductwork can’t be reached. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
Other services in Holloway
What the work involves, part by part
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers that are designed to come out are removed for cleaning, then refitted.
Extract ductwork
Washroom extracts handle damp air, so the dust tends to cling. We clean them and note any damp or corrosion.
