What the work involves, part by part
Grilles and diffusers
Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. We clean the grilles and look at what’s behind them.
Offices and retail
Multi-let buildings may share ductwork between tenants. We plan access with the managing agent.
Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in New Southgate
We get into the ducts through access panels along each run. If some sections can’t be reached, the report says so, and we can fit new panels so they’re covered next time. If you’re dealing with supply ducts with years of dust inside and extract ducts clogged with lint and dust, we can help.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. In New Southgate, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
Every 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 affects the quote in New Southgate
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
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’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Getting a quote does not 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.

What else we do in New Southgate
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.
Common questions in New Southgate
Can you clean school ventilation in New Southgate during the 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 New Southgate, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Does London parking affect a job in New Southgate?
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.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. Grilles and diffusers are cleaned as part of the job, so the room side is clean too.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
TR19® Air applies to the general ventilation in buildings like offices, schools and hospitals. Kitchen extract is covered separately, by TR19® Grease.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
