Ventilation duct cleaning in Monks Orchard
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Keeping the ducts clean is a sensible part of looking after them, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. If you have ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and odours carried round the building by the ducts, we can help, from supply ductwork, hospitals and care homes and general extract ductwork onwards.
In London, plant rooms are often in basements or on roofs reached through occupied floors, so work in Monks Orchard is often done in the evening or at weekends. Loading and parking are planned with the building first.
A written report with photos follows every visit, 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.

How the visit works
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 weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Monks Orchard.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; 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.
Advice
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
When should our ventilation next be cleaned?
TR19® Air is risk-based, so cleaning follows inspection rather than a fixed calendar. Each report recommends when the system should next be inspected.

Typically, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.

Different parts, different methods
Supply ductwork
Supply ducts carry air from the AHU into the rooms. Dust that slips past the filters builds up inside, and we remove it through access panels.
Offices and retail
In offices and retail, we often work evenings, overnight or at weekends so staff and customers aren’t disturbed.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
