Ventilation duct cleaning in North Greenwich, done properly
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 keeps the work in proportion to the risk. Common call-outs are for grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt and systems missing access panels, across supply ductwork, offices and schools and hospitals and care homes.
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 North Greenwich.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Leave it or put it right?
Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which takes strain off the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. If your building in North Greenwich has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Managing agents and facilities teams in North Greenwich
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
FAQs for North Greenwich
Can ventilation in schools around North Greenwich be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 52 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of North Greenwich, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you work at weekends in North Greenwich?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in North Greenwich keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
When should our ventilation next be cleaned?
TR19® Air is risk-based, so cleaning follows inspection rather than a fixed calendar. We suggest a next inspection date after each visit.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in North Greenwich?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What does TR19 Air cover?
It’s BESA’s guidance for ventilation hygiene in general supply and extract systems, beyond the kitchen. It’s risk-based and led by inspection, and kitchen extract falls under TR19® Grease.
Do you cover North Greenwich?
Yes. We work in North Greenwich and the rest of Greater London, within our South East and London area. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What ventilation duct cleaning looks like in North Greenwich
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 52 schools, colleges and universities, about 69 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 16 hotels and guest houses serving food in and around North Greenwich, up to about a mile and a half out. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. Many London buildings have had their ductwork altered through several fit-outs, so an inspection comes first. For North Greenwich, the closest hospital is Miller General Hospital, roughly 1 mile south. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.
If you manage offices or shops near Greenwich station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours. Classrooms and halls at schools such as Harbinger Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
- Protect the system from construction dust
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, based on what we found. Diary it straight away so it doesn’t slip.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in North Greenwich?
It matters for the people inside: dusty ducts can blow debris back into rooms, restrict airflow and make fans work harder. Where people are vulnerable, as in healthcare and care settings, the stakes are higher.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Systems missing access panels
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near North Greenwich, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Miller General Hospital (about 1 mile south).
