About our ventilation duct cleaning in Homerton

Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. Typical jobs include systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and odours carried round the building by the ducts, on grilles and diffusers, hospitals and care homes and toilet extract systems.

London buildings tend to keep their plant on the roof or below ground, so work in Homerton is often done in the evening or at weekends. Loading and parking are planned with the building first.

A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Homerton: your questions answered

Can parking be tricky for a job in Homerton?

We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.

Can you work in Homerton outside opening hours?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.

Are you insured?

Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Which sectors do you work in?

We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.

How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?

Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.

What if there are not enough access panels?

Those sections are recorded as not cleaned in the report, with the reason. New access panels can be installed so the whole system can be cleaned.

Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?

It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.

What the work involves, part by part

Offices and retail

Multi-let buildings may share ductwork between tenants. Access is agreed with the building manager.

Extract ductwork

General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. They collect dust, lint and fibres and restrict the flow over time.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

What we are called out for in Homerton

Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Condensation and leaks turn loose dust into a stubborn layer, which is harder to shift later.

Common reasons sites call us are:

  • Ventilation full of debris from building work
  • Damp or stale smells from grilles
  • Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
  • Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning

If you manage shops or offices close to Homerton station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.

Questions to ask before you book

  • What paperwork you get at the end
  • Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
  • Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
  • How VAT is shown on the quote

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

What happens on the day

Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Before any visit in Homerton, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.

  1. First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
  2. Inspection comes next, with pictures of the inside of the ducts.
  3. The area below is protected and the system switched off.
  4. Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
  5. You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.

How to prepare

  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Tell us where we can park and unload
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Homerton buildings and their air

The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 24 schools, colleges and universities, about 41 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses with registered kitchens or food service within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Homerton. Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. Homerton’s nearest hospital, Homerton University Hospital, is about within half a mile south. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital. London plant rooms are often on roofs or in basements reached through occupied floors.

If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Homerton, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Homerton University Hospital (about under half a mile south). Classrooms and halls at schools such as Rushmore Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

Aftercare tips

No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:

  • Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
  • Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
  • Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
  • Keep grilles and diffusers dusted

The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Put it in the diary now so it is not missed.

Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
