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.
Offices and retail
Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. Cleaning before the new occupants move in makes sense.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Hornsey
We get into the ducts through access panels at intervals along the system. If some sections cannot be reached, the report says so, and we can fit new panels so they’re covered next time. Common call-outs are for poor airflow from the vents and ductwork with too few access panels to clean, on general extract ductwork, toilet extract systems and offices and schools.
London buildings tend to keep their plant on the roof or below ground, so work in Hornsey is often done in the evening or at weekends. Parking and loading are agreed with the building in advance.
A written report with photos 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.

What else we do in Hornsey
How it 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. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Hornsey saves time on the night.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Hornsey: your questions answered
Can a school’s ventilation in Hornsey be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 47 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Hornsey, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Is parking a problem for work in Hornsey?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How do you deal with ducts you cannot get into?
The report shows exactly which parts weren’t reached. Access panels can be added where necessary.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and pictures. The report lists what was cleaned, anything not reached and the next inspection date.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on in Hornsey
- General extract ductwork
- Supply ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
- Grilles and diffusers
- Offices and schools
- Hospitals and care homes
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What we’re called out for in Hornsey
Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, especially when the system runs during the work. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
If you manage shops or offices close to Hornsey station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.

Ventilation duct cleaning around Hornsey
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 47 schools, colleges and universities, about 55 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 5 hotels and B&Bs with registered kitchens or food service within about 1.5 miles of central Hornsey. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. The nearest hospital to Hornsey is Hornsey Central Hospital, about 0.7 miles west. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients. London plant rooms are often on roofs or in basements reached through occupied floors.
Classrooms and halls at schools such as St Mary's CofE Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Hornsey, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Hornsey Central Hospital (about 0.7 miles west).

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
