How the job changes from site to site
Hospitals and care homes
Dust control matters during work in occupied care settings. We protect the work area and take everything away.
Extract ductwork
Extract fans pull air through these ducts, so a blocked duct strains them. A clean duct takes the load off.
Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Horn Park
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Over time, both collect dust and debris, some of which ends up back in the rooms. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. We are often asked to deal with ventilation full of debris from building work and ductwork never cleaned since it was installed, across grilles and diffusers, toilet extract systems and supply ductwork.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. In Horn Park, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A system that is not designed to move enough air
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system

Questions from Horn Park
Can parking be tricky for a job in Horn Park?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Horn Park makes the visit easier to plan. Working overnight, as we often do in London, typically makes it simpler.
Do you clean school ventilation in Horn Park in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 41 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Horn Park, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
How much time does a ventilation clean need?
Expect it to take a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. The size of the system and the access make the biggest difference.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
There’s no single interval; under TR19® Air, inspection decides. We suggest a next inspection date after every visit.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you inspect before cleaning?
Yes, on every job. We check the layout, access and condition before giving a fixed quote.
Ventilation in Horn Park buildings
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 41 schools, colleges and universities and about 72 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) with registered kitchens or food service within about 1.5 miles of central Horn Park. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. London plant rooms are often on roofs or in basements reached through occupied floors. Eltham Community Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 1.2 miles east of Horn Park. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital.
If you manage a school such as Horn Park Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays. Workplaces around Lee station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Protect the system from construction dust
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Diary it straight away so it doesn’t slip.
Fit access panels where the ductwork can’t be reached. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
What happens if it’s left?
Smells, dust around grilles and stuffy rooms are signs the system needs attention. Dealing with them now stops them getting worse. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

What affects the quote in Horn Park
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the ventilation duct cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. If your building in Horn Park has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

When to call us in Horn Park
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, especially when the system runs during the work. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
Eltham Community Hospital, about 1.2 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Horn Park, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.
