About our ventilation duct cleaning in Lower Clapton
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. If you’re dealing with poor airflow from the vents and supply ducts with years of dust inside, we can put it right.
Many London buildings have had their ventilation extended and altered through several fit-outs, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. In Lower Clapton, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What else we do in Lower Clapton
What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Expect the work in Lower Clapton to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- A certificate and before and after pictures follow, with anything not reached recorded.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Lower Clapton
Can you come to Lower Clapton after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Lower Clapton keeps running as normal. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can a school’s ventilation in Lower Clapton be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 24 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Lower Clapton. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Do you inspect before cleaning?
Yes, always. We check the layout, access and condition, so the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
It takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. The size of the system and the access make the biggest difference.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Common problems we fix in Lower Clapton
Even good filters let some dust through, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
For schools like Rushmore Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
Questions to ask before you book
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When the next visit should be, and why
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Keep filters changed on time
Before any works, think about the ducts. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Lower Clapton
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
