Ventilation duct cleaning in New Cross, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and photos. Call for a fixed quote.
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in New Cross.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Ventilation duct cleaning in New Cross
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. If you are dealing with ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection and extract ducts clogged with lint and dust, we can help, from offices and schools, supply ductwork and general extract ductwork onwards.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. In New Cross, 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 photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Managing agents and facilities teams in New Cross
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep filters changed on time
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- 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.
Don’t let construction dust into the ventilation by switching it off or covering the grilles.
New Cross buildings and their air
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 68 schools, colleges and universities, about 74 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 10 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses with registered kitchens or food service within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of New Cross. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. About 0.6 miles north-east of New Cross is Miller General Hospital, the nearest hospital. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes. London plant rooms are often on roofs or in basements reached through occupied floors.
Miller General Hospital, about 0.6 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to New Cross, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean. If you manage a school such as Myatt Garden Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
New Cross is about 3 miles south-east of London, in Greater London. From the centre of New Cross to the outskirts, we cover ventilation duct cleaning for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. Our Greater London coverage runs to 764 places, New Cross among them.
Work in SE8, SE14 and SE4 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Ventilation duct cleaning is available to premises on Ivy Road, Mona Road and Avon Road and the roads around them. New Cross is on the A2209 and A2210, so it’s easy for us to get to for out-of-hours visits. If your site is just outside New Cross, we cover St Johns (1 mile east), Telegraph Hill (1 mile south-west), Deptford (1 mile north-east), Nunhead (1 mile south-west) and Lewisham (1 mile south-east). Larger places within reach include London (3 miles north-west), City of Westminster (6 miles north-west), Marylebone (6 miles north-west), Kensington (8 miles west), St Pancras (5 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (4 miles north-west).
Near you in New Cross
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Wickham Arms, Fordham Park and Addey and Stanhope School, among other places. You will also find St. Paul's (0.7 miles north-east) and Laban Centre (0.9 miles north-east). New Cross has its own railway station: New Cross station. A little further out are Fan Museum (1.2 miles north-east) and Greenwich Castle (1.5 miles east). Not far away are St. James's Park Lake and Tower Hill.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced 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.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Why act early in New Cross
Smells, dust around grilles and stuffy rooms are signs the system needs attention. Dealing with them now stops them getting worse. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

What ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Common questions in New Cross
Can parking be tricky for a job in New Cross?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in New Cross makes the visit easier to plan. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Do you work at weekends in New Cross?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in New Cross keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in New Cross?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you inspect before cleaning?
Yes. We always survey first, on site or from pictures and drawings, then we send you a fixed quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What does TR19 Air cover?
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that covers general supply and extract ventilation, beyond the kitchen. It works on inspection and risk, and kitchen extract falls under TR19® Grease.
When to call us in New Cross
Most ductwork is out of sight, so dust collects unseen. The grilles get a wipe, but what’s behind them doesn’t.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Systems missing access panels
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
Workplaces around New Cross station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.
