What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. If your building in Newington Butts has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Newington Butts
We always start by inspecting. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, then recommend cleaning where it’s needed. That keeps the work in proportion to the risk. If you are dealing with blocked general extract ductwork and ductwork never cleaned since it was installed, we can help, from hospitals and care homes, grilles and diffusers and offices and schools onwards.
Many London buildings have had their ventilation extended and altered through several fit-outs, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Newington Butts.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Why it’s worth doing now in Newington Butts
Smells, dust around grilles and stuffy rooms are signs the system needs attention. Dealing with them now stops them getting worse. For a site in Newington Butts, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

What we are called out for in Newington Butts
Moisture in ducts makes dust stick. Condensation and leaks turn loose dust into a stubborn layer, and it becomes harder to remove.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
For schools like London College of Communication, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
Before booking anyone
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What paperwork you get at the end
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether they recommend a next date
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so the history stays together. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.

Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes, along with the ducts behind them. They show up in the photo report before and after.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. 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.
