What ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix
Ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Problems with how the system is controlled
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Offices and schools
- Grilles and diffusers
- Hospitals and care homes

Ventilation duct cleaning in Purley
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after photos. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, so you have it all on record. The work covers grilles and diffusers, offices and schools and toilet extract systems, and people most often call us about damp or stale smells from grilles and blocked general extract ductwork.
Across London, offices, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings rely on mechanical ventilation, much of it supplied through air handling units on roofs or in basements. For a building in Purley, dust settles in the units and ducts year after year.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What happens if it’s left?
Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Putting the inspection off just means you do not know where you stand. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Keep filters changed on time
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so the history stays together. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Do not let construction dust into the ventilation by switching it off or covering the grilles.

What affects the quote in Purley
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Purley
Can parking be tricky for a job in Purley?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Purley, and about any building rules on loading. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Can the work in Purley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What happens if parts of the ductwork can’t be reached?
We clean what we can reach and note the rest. Extra access panels can solve it, and we can fit them.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes. Where they can be removed, they’re taken down, cleaned and refitted. The rest are cleaned where they are.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Purley.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Different parts, different methods
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and restrict the flow over time.
Supply ductwork
Supply ductwork delivers conditioned air to each room. Fine dust that gets past the filters settles along the runs, and it’s cleaned out through access panels.
