Ventilation duct cleaning across Putney

What happens on the day

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Putney is typically done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.

  1. We survey the system from drawings, photos or a site visit.
  2. We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
  3. The area below is protected and the system switched off.
  4. Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
  5. You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions

How to get a quote

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Putney

Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Dust and debris build up in both, some of which ends up back in the rooms. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. The work covers offices and schools, hospitals and care homes and toilet extract systems, and common reasons people get in touch are musty smells from the ventilation and dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years.

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 Putney, dust settles in the units and ducts year after year.

It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Putney

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.

How do you deal with ducts you cannot get into?

We list any unreached sections on the report, with the reason. New access panels can be installed so the whole system can be cleaned.

What information do you need?

A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.

Are grilles and diffusers included?

Yes, along with the ducts behind them. You’ll see them in the before and after photos.

Food Standards Agency data includes about 43 schools, colleges and universities, about 66 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 5 hotels and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Putney. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. Ventilation cleaning in London buildings is typically planned for evenings or weekends. About 0.8 miles south-east of Putney is Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability, the nearest hospital. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.

Hospitals such as Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability (about 0.8 miles south-east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Putney are no different. For schools like Our Lady of Victories Catholic Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

Why act early in Putney

Where a building in Putney serves patients, residents or children, putting off ventilation cleaning is hard to justify. Good indoor air starts with a clean system. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Putney

Many systems run for long hours, day after day, and every hour moves more dust through the ducts. The busier the building, the faster it builds up.

Keep an eye out for these warning signs:

  • Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
  • Blocked general extract ductwork
  • Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
  • Stuffy rooms and stale air

If you manage shops or offices close to Putney station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.

What your quote should include

  • Proof of accreditation you can verify
  • Proof of insurance
  • Whether the price is fixed
  • What records you will receive afterwards

Our hiring checklist

When something else is needed

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
  • Building management settings that run the plant
  • A system that is not designed to move enough air

Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Offices and schools
  • Supply ductwork
  • Toilet extract systems
  • Hospitals and care homes
  • General extract ductwork
  • Grilles and diffusers

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning 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: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
