What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Longlane
We get into the ducts through access panels along each run. If some sections cannot be reached, the report says so, and new access panels can be installed so they’re covered next time. Typical jobs include dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers and ductwork never cleaned since it was installed, on hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and offices and schools.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Longlane
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Somewhere as small as Longlane, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Longlane
Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Putting the inspection off just means you do not know where you stand. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Why us?
- Every visit written up, with photos
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Full insurance on every job
What the work involves, part by part
Offices and retail
Shared systems in multi-let buildings need access to several areas. We plan access with the managing agent.
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers that are designed to come out are removed for cleaning, then put back.
Longlane: your questions answered
Will you come out to Longlane?
Yes. Longlane is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Longlane be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes. You get a certificate with the date, location and technician, along with photos before and after.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
