Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Old Ford
Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Dust and debris build up in both, some of which ends up back in the rooms. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. The work covers grilles and diffusers, general extract ductwork and supply ductwork, and the jobs we see most are supply ducts with years of dust inside and poor airflow from the vents.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. In Old Ford, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.

Why deal with it now?
Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which puts less load on the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. Planning ahead in Old Ford lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
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, before any work starts.
Questions from Old Ford
Does London parking affect a job in Old Ford?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Can the work in Old Ford be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you inspect before cleaning?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from pictures, drawings or a site visit, 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.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
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.
What the work involves, part by part
Offices and retail
Offices and shops tend to need the work done outside opening hours so staff and customers are not disturbed.
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers that are designed to come out are removed for cleaning, then put back.
