Managing agents and facilities teams in Petts Wood
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Questions from Petts Wood
Do you work at weekends in Petts Wood?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Petts Wood does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is parking a problem for work in Petts Wood?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and pictures. The report lists what was cleaned, anything not reached and the next inspection date.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What happens if parts of the ductwork can’t be reached?
We list any unreached sections on the report, with the reason. We can fit new access panels so the whole system can be cleaned.
When to call us in Petts Wood
Ventilation hygiene often gets left out of planned maintenance. Plant can be well serviced while the ductwork goes untouched for years.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
If you run an office near Petts Wood station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside.

Related advice
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Keep filters changed on time
Before any works, think about the ducts. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as moisture makes dust stick.
Leave it or put it right?
An inspection-led approach avoids cleaning ducts that don’t need it. Putting the inspection off just means you don’t know where you stand. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Why us?
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- A fixed price before any work starts
Part by part
Supply ductwork
Supply runs are inspected at set points first before deciding what to clean.
Offices and retail
Refits in commercial space often leave construction dust in the ducts. A clean before handover is a sensible step.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
