Ventilation duct cleaning in Plashet
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Plashet and right across Greater London, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. The work covers offices and schools, hospitals and care homes and toilet extract systems, and people most often call us about damp or stale smells from grilles and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Plashet.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Plashet and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract ductwork
Extract fans pull air through these ducts, so a blocked duct strains them. A clean duct takes the load off.
Grilles and diffusers
Every duct ends at a grille or diffuser in the room. We clean them as part of the job, so dust on them is not blown back in.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Plashet: local notes
Food Standards Agency data includes about 55 schools, colleges and universities, about 59 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 15 hotels and guest houses in and around Plashet, up to about a mile and a half out. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. London plant rooms are often on roofs or in basements reached through occupied floors. Newham University Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 1.5 miles south of Plashet. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.
For schools like Plashet School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation. For workplaces around Woodgrange Park station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends. Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Newham University Hospital (about 1.5 miles south) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- File each ventilation report with the building records
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so it’s all in one place. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Plashet is normally out of hours.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Related advice
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
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 will take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Plashet
Can you come to Plashet after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Plashet keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can ventilation in schools around Plashet be cleaned out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 55 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Plashet. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
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 may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What is TR19® Air?
It covers ventilation hygiene for supply and extract systems in offices, schools, hospitals and other buildings. Kitchen extract systems fall under TR19® Grease instead.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes, along with the ducts behind them. They show up in the photo report before and after.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Why it’s worth doing now in Plashet
Dust streaks around grilles and stale rooms suggest the ducts need looking at. Acting early keeps the clean simpler. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
