How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Hoxton
Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. If you have construction dust left in ducts after a refit and toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff, we can put it right, from offices and schools, hospitals and care homes and toilet extract systems onwards.
In London, plant rooms are often in basements or on roofs reached through occupied floors, so work in Hoxton is often done in the evening or at weekends. Loading and parking are planned with the building first.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Hoxton.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Inspection comes next, with photos of the inside of the ducts.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
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, before any work starts.
Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Log every filter change
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, based on what we found. Diary it straight away so it is not missed.
Protect the system during building work by switching it off or covering the grilles.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
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.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Hoxton: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Hoxton?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Hoxton?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit normally gets round them.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
That varies with the building, the filters and how hard the system works. Inspecting regularly shows when cleaning is needed.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
When to call us in Hoxton
Even good filters let some dust through, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
Workplaces around Hoxton station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.

Ventilation in Hoxton buildings
Food Standards Agency records list about 58 schools, colleges and universities, about 65 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 42 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered as food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Hoxton. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. London plant rooms are often on roofs or in basements reached through occupied floors. About under half a mile east of Hoxton is St Leonard's Hospital, the nearest hospital. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
For schools like Shoreditch Park Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Hoxton, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like St Leonard's Hospital (about within half a mile east).

Leave it or put it right?
Dust streaks around grilles and stale rooms suggest the ducts need looking at. Dealing with them now stops them getting worse. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
