About our ventilation duct cleaning in Peckham
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that deals with general supply and extract ventilation. It’s risk-based and inspection-led, so we look before we clean. The work covers grilles and diffusers, general extract ductwork and supply ductwork, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork with too few access panels to clean and damp or stale smells from grilles.
London buildings tend to keep their plant on the roof or below ground, so work in Peckham is often done in the evening or at weekends. Parking and loading are agreed with the building in advance.
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.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the ventilation duct cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Peckham saves time on the night.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Questions from Peckham
Can you work in Peckham outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Peckham does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Can ventilation in schools around Peckham be cleaned out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 83 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Peckham. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What is TR19® Air?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.

What staff can safely do
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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning

- How big the system is

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Peckham?
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, especially when the system runs during the work. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
What we are most often called out for:
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
Hospitals such as Southwark Adult Education Institute (about within half a mile east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Peckham are no different.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
