About our ventilation duct cleaning in Monkhams
Dust in ventilation ductwork isn’t only a cleanliness issue. It slows the air, strains the fans and can be blown back out of the grilles. A clean puts the system back as it should be. If you have duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning and toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff, we can put it right.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Monkhams.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What we do, step by step
We’re 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 a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Monkhams.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work

Advice
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Keep filters changed on time
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Protect the system from construction dust
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Fit access panels where the ductwork cannot be reached. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
FAQs for Monkhams
How do you handle parking and loading in Monkhams?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Monkhams makes the visit easier to plan. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
Do you work overnight in Monkhams?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Monkhams doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which sectors do you work in?
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.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
The clean takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. We’ll know more after the survey, and you can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us to arrange it.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and pictures. It also notes unreached sections and a recommended next inspection.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Building management settings that run the plant
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
