Ventilation duct cleaning in Hooley, done properly
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. If you’re dealing with dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms and poor airflow from the vents, we can put it right, from grilles and diffusers, general extract ductwork and offices and schools 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 Hooley.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Hooley
Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Where there’s condensation or a leak, dust clings and builds faster, and it becomes harder to remove.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
Wherever a school like Coulsdon Sixth Form College has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

Hooley questions
Is parking a problem for work in Hooley?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Hooley makes the visit easier to plan. Working overnight, as we often do in London, typically makes it simpler.
Can ventilation in schools around Hooley be cleaned out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Hooley, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work in Hooley?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Hooley included.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you provide a report?
Yes. The certificate records the date and location of the work and the technician, along with photos before and after.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes. Inspection is the start of the TR19® Air approach and record what we find. Cleaning is recommended where it’s needed.

How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Expect the work in Hooley to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- 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 pictures and send the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Protect the system from construction dust
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so it’s all in one place. Over time, it shows how quickly the system gets dirty.
Don’t let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Leave it or put it right?
Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which takes strain off the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. A busy site in Hooley builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
