About our ventilation duct cleaning in Reading Street
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, so you have it all on record. If you have supply ducts with years of dust inside and odours carried round the building by the ducts, we can put it right, from hospitals and care homes, general extract ductwork and offices and schools onwards.
Somewhere as small as Reading Street, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by ventilation duct cleaning, and we will tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
- Problems with how the system is controlled
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Grilles and diffusers
- Offices and schools
- General extract ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
- Supply ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
When to call us in Reading Street
Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, especially when the system runs during the work. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Poor airflow from the vents
Around Reading Street, an air handling unit’s drain tray is checked for standing water as a matter of course.
Comparing quotes
- Whether they recommend a next date
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether a survey comes first
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
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 will say where.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
Common questions in Reading Street
Can the work in Reading Street be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Reading Street keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is Reading Street within the area you cover?
Yes, Reading Street is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How do you deal with ducts you cannot get into?
Those sections are recorded as not cleaned in the report, with the reason. We can fit new access panels so they’re covered next time.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
Work on site takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. We will know more after the survey, and you can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form to arrange it.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you provide a report?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and pictures. The report lists what was cleaned, anything not reached and the next inspection date.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we will survey first.

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. The timing of a visit to Reading Street is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
How to prepare

- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

What else we do in Reading Street
What affects the quote in Reading Street
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
