Ventilation duct cleaning in Putney Vale

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Putney Vale

Beyond the kitchen, TR19® Air covers the ordinary supply and extract systems that serve offices, schools and other buildings. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so every job starts with a look inside the ducts. The work covers supply ductwork, toilet extract systems and offices and schools, and people most often call us about ducts that need a clean before handover and systems missing access panels.

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 Putney Vale.

Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

When to call us in Putney Vale

It matters for the people inside: dusty ducts can blow debris back into rooms, restrict airflow and make fans work harder. Where people are vulnerable, as in healthcare and care settings, the stakes are higher.

Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Stuffy rooms and stale air
  • Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
  • Blocked general extract ductwork
  • Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years

School buildings such as Hall School Wimbledon are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

What your quote should include

  • Whether the figure could change on the day
  • Whether VAT is included
  • How they set the interval to the next visit
  • What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed

Our hiring checklist

Keeping the system healthy

A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:

  • Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
  • Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
  • Log every filter change
  • Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work

The report lists the sections we cleaned and any we couldn’t reach, backed up by before and after photos. If access panels are needed, we’ll say where.

Fit access panels where the ductwork can’t be reached. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.

Common questions in Putney Vale

Can you clean school ventilation in Putney Vale during the holidays?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 12 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Putney Vale. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.

How do you handle parking and loading in Putney Vale?

A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Putney Vale makes the visit easier to plan. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.

How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?

There’s no single interval; under TR19® Air, inspection decides. Each report recommends when the system should next be inspected.

How do you protect the area?

Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

What information do you need?

Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.

Is TR19 cleaning required by law?

No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Before any visit in Putney Vale, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.

  1. First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
  2. We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
  3. We cover the area below and turn off the system.
  4. We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
  5. The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

How we price ventilation duct cleaning

We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:

  • What state the system is in
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • The scale of the work
  • Where the site is and how we reach it

A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

What to send for a quote

What to send for a quote:

  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • A few general shots of the system

To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos 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. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.

Honest limits

Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:

  • Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
  • Design problems with the ductwork layout
  • Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric

If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What the work covers

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