Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Newington
Inspection comes first. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That way the work matches the real condition. Typical jobs include toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning, on toilet extract systems, offices and schools and supply ductwork.
Smaller buildings around Newington often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, out of sight and easy to overlook. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so it’s all in one place. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Keep filters changed on time. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
FAQs for Newington
Can ventilation in schools around Newington be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Newington. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you get to a site in Newington?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Newington included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, on site or from photos and drawings, and then quote a fixed price.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What happens if parts of the ductwork cannot be reached?
Accessible sections are cleaned and the others recorded. Fitting access panels tends to be the answer, and we can fit them.
Honest limits
Ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Building management settings that run the plant
- A system that is not designed to move enough air
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- General extract ductwork
- Supply ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
- Grilles and diffusers

- Offices and schools
What affects the quote in Newington
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report

What the work involves, part by part
Extract ductwork
Washroom extracts handle damp air, so the dust tends to cling. We clean them and note any damp or corrosion.
Supply ductwork
Anything in a supply duct can end up in the rooms it feeds. Cleaning it deals with the source.
