Ventilation duct cleaning in Loxford

When it’s something else

We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning won’t do:

  • Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
  • Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
  • Ventilation that is undersized for the building

If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Where we work

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

How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Loxford

Beyond the kitchen, TR19® Air covers the ordinary supply and extract systems that serve offices, schools and other buildings. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so every job starts with a look inside the ducts. If you’re dealing with grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt and damp or stale smells from grilles, we can put it right, from hospitals and care homes, general extract ductwork and grilles and diffusers onwards.

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

Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us

When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

Leave it or put it right?

Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Skipping it leaves you guessing. For a site in Loxford, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.

A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

What you get with us

  • Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
  • Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
  • Every visit written up, with photos
  • One number for every site across the South East and London

How we price ventilation duct cleaning

You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:

  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • The scale of the work

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

What to send for a quote

We can often survey from photos. Try to include:

  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

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, before we start.

Common questions in Loxford

What do you need to know about parking in Loxford?

Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.

Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Loxford in the summer holidays?

Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 41 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Loxford, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.

What types of premises do you cover?

Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.

Will you clean the vents in the rooms?

Yes. We clean the grilles and diffusers along with the ductwork, so dust is not left at the outlets.

How do you protect the area?

With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.

Are you accredited?

Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?

The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.

How the job changes from site to site

Extract ductwork

Washroom extracts handle damp air, so the dust tends to cling. We clean them and note any damp or corrosion.

Hospitals and care homes

Patients and residents may be more sensitive to dust in the air. Inspecting and cleaning to TR19® Air supports good air quality.

Ventilation in Loxford buildings

The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 41 schools, colleges and universities, about 73 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 14 hotels and B&Bs with registered kitchens or food service across Loxford and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. Ventilation cleaning in London buildings is usually planned for evenings or weekends. For Loxford, the closest hospital is Barking Community Hospital, roughly 1 mile south-east. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.

If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Loxford, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Barking Community Hospital (about 1 mile south-east). If you manage a school such as Woodlands Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays. Workplaces around Barking station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.

How the visit works

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Before any visit in Loxford, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.

  1. First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
  2. We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
  3. Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
  4. Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
  5. You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions

How to get a quote

We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
