About our ventilation duct cleaning in North Cray
Inspection comes first. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That way the work matches the real condition. Typical jobs include dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning, across grilles and diffusers, general extract ductwork and supply ductwork.
In London, plant rooms are often in basements or on roofs reached through occupied floors, so work in North Cray is often done in the evening or at weekends. Loading and parking are planned with the building first.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in North Cray
Planned maintenance tends to focus on fans and filters, not the ducts. A building in North Cray can have well-serviced plant and dirty ductwork at the same time.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
School buildings such as Royal Park Primary Academy are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
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.
Do not let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.
FAQs for North Cray
Does London parking affect a job in North Cray?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Do you work overnight in North Cray?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in North Cray does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
It takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. How much ductwork there is and how easily it’s reached decide the rest.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Is North Cray in your area?
Yes. We cover North Cray and across Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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 to a regular schedule.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Building management settings that run the plant
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in North Cray.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Related advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
