About our ventilation duct cleaning in London Docklands
We always start by inspecting. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That way the work matches the real condition. If you have supply ducts with years of dust inside and construction dust left in ducts after a refit, we can put it right, from toilet extract systems, hospitals and care homes and offices and schools onwards.
London buildings often depend on air handling units in plant rooms or on the roof to supply fresh air. In a building in London Docklands, dust and debris build up in the units and ductwork over time, which is what TR19® Air cleaning deals with.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract ductwork
Washroom extracts handle damp air, which makes dirt stick. We clean them and note any damp or corrosion.
Schools and colleges
Busy classrooms send a lot of dust and fibre into extract ducts. Inspection shows when cleaning is due.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What we are called out for in London Docklands
Most ductwork is out of sight, so nobody sees the build-up. Grilles may be wiped, but the ducts behind them rarely are.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
If you run an office near Canary Wharf station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Proof of insurance
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in London Docklands.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
