Ventilation duct cleaning in Lea Valley
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. The work covers toilet extract systems, grilles and diffusers and offices and schools, and common reasons people get in touch are extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected.
For a building in or near Lea Valley, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Keep filters changed on time
- Watch for water stains around grilles
Before any works, think about the ducts. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
When to call us in Lea Valley
Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Where there’s condensation or a leak, dust clings and builds faster, which is harder to shift later.
Look out for any of the following:
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
If you manage a school such as High Beeches Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

Lea Valley questions
Do you work at weekends in Lea Valley?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you get to a site in Lea Valley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes, together with the ductwork. You will see them in the before and after photos.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What happens if it’s left?
Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which takes strain off the fans. Leaving them means the plant works harder for the same result. Planning a trip to Lea Valley ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
