Honest limits

Not every problem is solved by ventilation duct cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:

  • Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
  • Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
  • Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing

If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Parts of the system we cover

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

Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Leamouth

Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. If you have rooms that feel airless when the system runs and systems missing access panels, we can help.

London buildings often depend on air handling units in plant rooms or on the roof to supply fresh air. For a building in Leamouth, dust settles in the units and ducts year after year.

Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Leamouth: your questions answered

Do you work overnight in Leamouth?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Leamouth needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.

What do you need to know about parking in Leamouth?

Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.

How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?

Under TR19® Air, the answer comes from inspecting the ducts. Heavily used buildings, or those with vulnerable occupants, may need attention more often.

What is TR19?

A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.

Is a quote from photos possible?

Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.

Who is the responsible person?

It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.

Will you look at the ducts before quoting?

Yes. We always survey first, on site or from photos and drawings, and then quote a fixed price.

Part by part

Offices and retail

Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. A clean before handover is a sensible step.

Grilles and diffusers

Dust marks around grilles can point to dirt further back in the system. We clean the grilles and look at what’s behind them.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Leamouth

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Leamouth and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

What happens on the day

There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Leamouth.

  1. We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
  2. Access panels are opened along each run.
  3. We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
  4. We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
  5. After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us where we can park and unload
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Getting a quote

Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Ventilation in Leamouth buildings

There are about 53 schools, colleges and universities, about 53 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 14 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses on the FSA’s food hygiene register within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Leamouth. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. Getting kit to a London plant room usually means lifts, stairs and an agreed loading slot. The nearest hospital to Leamouth is Poplar Hospital, about 0.6 miles west. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.

Classrooms and halls at schools such as St Luke's Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away. If you run an office near Custom House station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside.

Looking after it afterwards

So the system stays in good health:

  • Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
  • Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
  • Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
  • Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers

Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so the history stays together. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.

Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.

What staff can safely do

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

If your staff spot something 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.

Common problems we fix in Leamouth

Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.

It’s time to book a visit if you see:

  • Supply ducts with years of dust inside
  • Poor airflow from the vents
  • Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
  • Blocked general extract ductwork

Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Poplar Hospital (about 0.6 miles west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

What your quote should include

  • What records you’ll receive afterwards
  • When the next visit should be, and why
  • Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
  • If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
