Ventilation duct cleaning in Hornchurch Marshes

FAQs for Hornchurch Marshes

Do you work at weekends in Hornchurch Marshes?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Hornchurch Marshes keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.

Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Hornchurch Marshes in the summer holidays?

Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 15 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Hornchurch Marshes. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.

Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?

That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.

Do you provide a report?

Yes, both a certificate and a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything not reached and the next inspection date.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.

Is Hornchurch Marshes in your area?

Yes. We work in Hornchurch Marshes and the rest of Greater London, within our South East and London area. To book, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Do you have insurance?

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

When should our ventilation next be cleaned?

That varies with the building, the filters and how hard the system works. Regular inspection tells you when it’s due.

How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Hornchurch Marshes

When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, so you have it all on record. Typical jobs include extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and ducts that need a clean before handover, on general extract ductwork, supply ductwork and grilles and diffusers.

Across London, offices, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings rely on mechanical ventilation, much of it supplied through air handling units on roofs or in basements. For a building in Hornchurch Marshes, dust settles in the units and ducts year after year.

A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When it’s something else

Ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not put right:

  • Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
  • Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
  • Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Toilet extract systems
  • General extract ductwork
  • Hospitals and care homes
  • Grilles and diffusers
  • Supply ductwork
  • Offices and schools

What happens if it’s left?

An inspection-led approach avoids cleaning ducts that don’t need it. Skipping it leaves you guessing. A busy site in Hornchurch Marshes builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.

No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

What you get with us

  • Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
  • Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
  • One number for every site across the South East and London
  • We diagnose before we treat

Hornchurch Marshes buildings and their air

Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 15 schools, colleges and universities and about 12 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) serving food in and around Hornchurch Marshes, up to about a mile and a half out. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. Many London buildings have had their ductwork altered through several fit-outs, so an inspection comes first. Hornchurch Marshes’s nearest hospital, Erith and District Hospital, is about 2.8 miles south. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.

School buildings such as Brook Sixth Form and Academy are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hornchurch Marshes

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’re happy to quote for all of it.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Part by part

Extract ductwork

Toilet and washroom extract can carry moisture as well as dust, which makes dirt stick. We clean them and note any damp or corrosion.

Supply ductwork

We check supply ducts at intervals along each run before deciding what to clean.

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Hornchurch Marshes

Even good filters let some dust through, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.

Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
  • Musty smells from the ventilation
  • Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
  • Blocked general extract ductwork

Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Erith and District Hospital (about 2.8 miles south) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

What your quote should include

  • Proof of insurance
  • What records you’ll receive afterwards
  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
  • Whether the price is fixed

Our hiring checklist

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

The process

When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Hornchurch Marshes.

  1. First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
  2. Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
  3. We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
  4. Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
  5. You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the space around the work
  • Find the previous report, if there is one
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Ask for a quote

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
