About our ventilation duct cleaning in Plumstead
A dusty duct in a building in Plumstead is more than an eyesore. It can restrict airflow, make the system work harder and send dust back into occupied rooms. Cleaning restores the clear airway the system was designed with. If you have dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years and ventilation full of debris from building work, we can put it right, from supply ductwork, general extract ductwork and hospitals and care homes onwards.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. In Plumstead, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What affects the quote in Plumstead
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

What happens if it’s left?
An inspection-led approach avoids cleaning ducts that do not need it. Skipping it leaves you guessing. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract ductwork
Toilet and washroom extract can carry moisture as well as dust, so the dust tends to cling. They’re cleaned and their condition recorded.
Hospitals and care homes
In care settings, keeping dust contained is a priority. We protect the work area and take everything away.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
FAQs for Plumstead
Is parking a problem for work in Plumstead?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Can you come to Plumstead after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Plumstead can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What if there are not enough access panels?
Those sections are recorded as not cleaned in the report, so it’s clear what’s outstanding. New access panels can be installed so they’re covered next time.
How much time does a ventilation clean need?
As a guide, it takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Bigger sites are split into stages, and we’ll confirm the plan when we quote.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. TR19® Air takes an inspection-led, risk-based approach.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes, together with the ductwork. You’ll see them in the before and after photos.
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Plumstead.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Related advice
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Log every filter change
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, based on what we found. Diary it straight away so it is not missed.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
