How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in North Sheen
Beyond the kitchen, TR19® Air covers the ordinary supply and extract systems that serve offices, schools and other buildings. It’s risk-based and inspection-led, so every job starts with a look inside the ducts. We’re often asked to deal with stuffy rooms and stale air and toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff, across hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and supply ductwork.
In London, plant rooms are often in basements or on roofs reached through occupied floors, so ventilation cleaning in North Sheen is usually planned out of hours. Loading and parking are planned with the building first.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

North Sheen buildings and their air
There are about 29 schools, colleges and universities, about 43 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 13 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses on the FSA’s food hygiene register in and around North Sheen, up to about a mile and a half out. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. The nearest hospital to North Sheen is Barnes Hospital, about 1.1 miles south-east. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients. Ventilation cleaning in London buildings is usually planned for evenings or weekends.
For schools like Kew Riverside Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation. Hospitals such as Barnes Hospital (about 1.1 miles south-east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near North Sheen are no different.

Leave it or put it right?
Dust in ducts does not go away on its own. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and the more gets blown back into the rooms. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Common questions in North Sheen
How do you handle parking and loading in North Sheen?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Working overnight, as we often do in London, usually makes it simpler.
Do you work at weekends in North Sheen?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in North Sheen needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. 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 often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
Under TR19® Air, the answer comes from inspecting the ducts. Heavily used buildings, or those with vulnerable occupants, may need attention more often.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Parking and loading at the site
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Common problems we fix in North Sheen
Ventilation hygiene often gets left out of planned maintenance. Plant can be well serviced while the ductwork goes untouched for years.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
For workplaces around Kew Gardens station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether they recommend a next date
- How VAT is shown on the quote
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks, and we clear up before we go. In North Sheen, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Building management settings that run the plant
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Grilles and diffusers
- Supply ductwork
- Offices and schools
- Toilet extract systems
- Hospitals and care homes
- General extract ductwork
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
The report lists the sections we cleaned and any we couldn’t reach, with pictures before and after. If access panels are needed, we’ll say where.
Don’t let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.
