What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Royal Docks
Dust in ventilation ductwork is not only a cleanliness issue. It slows the air, strains the fans and can be blown back out of the grilles. Cleaning restores the clear airway the system was designed with. The work covers hospitals and care homes, general extract ductwork and offices and schools, and the jobs we see most are systems missing access panels and ducts that need a clean before handover.
Many London buildings have had their ventilation extended and altered through several fit-outs, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Royal Docks.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
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.
Royal Docks: your questions answered
Do you clean school ventilation in Royal Docks in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 51 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Royal Docks. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can you come to Royal Docks after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you survey the system first?
Yes, always. We check the layout, access and condition, so the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What accreditations do you have?
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.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Watch for water stains around grilles
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters are the quickest way to undo a duct clean.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
Ventilation duct cleaning around Royal Docks
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 51 schools, colleges and universities, about 41 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 16 hotels and B&Bs with registered kitchens or food service within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Royal Docks. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. Many London buildings have had their ductwork altered through several fit-outs, so an inspection comes first. Albert Dock Seamen's Hospital is the nearest hospital, about under half a mile north-west of Royal Docks. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
For workplaces around Custom House station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends. If you manage a school such as Calverton Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays. Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Albert Dock Seamen's Hospital (about less than half a mile north-west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Royal Docks needs from us.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Advice
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Hospitals and care homes
Dust control matters during work in occupied care settings. The area is protected, and debris contained and removed.
Schools and colleges
We plan the work around the school calendar and agree access with the site team.
Leave it or put it right?
A clean system moves air more easily, which takes strain off the fans. Leaving them means the plant works harder for the same result. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
