Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Mapesbury
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 keeps the work in proportion to the risk. The work covers supply ductwork, grilles and diffusers and hospitals and care homes, and the jobs we see most are extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected.
Many London buildings have had their ventilation extended and altered through several fit-outs, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Mapesbury.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, especially when the system runs during the work. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
Look out for these warning signs:

- Musty smells from the ventilation

Different parts, different methods
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. They collect dust, lint and fibres and slowly narrow.
Schools and colleges
Holidays and weekends are the natural time to clean school ventilation, when classrooms are empty.

- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning

Parts of the system we cover
- Supply ductwork
- General extract ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers
- Toilet extract systems
- Offices and schools
- Hospitals and care homes
How it works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Mapesbury saves time on the night.
- We survey the system from drawings, photos or a site visit.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Related advice
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Stick to the filter change schedule
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Diary it right away so it isn’t missed.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as moisture makes dust stick.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Questions from Mapesbury
Can ventilation in schools around Mapesbury be cleaned out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 33 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Mapesbury. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
How do you handle parking and loading in Mapesbury?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in Mapesbury?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
TR19® Air is risk-based, so cleaning follows inspection rather than a fixed calendar. We suggest a next inspection date after every visit.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
