- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean

Ventilation duct cleaning in Ruislip, done properly
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Dust and debris build up in both, and some of it is blown back into the building. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. If you’re dealing with dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years and ductwork with too few access panels to clean, we can put it right, from toilet extract systems, grilles and diffusers and hospitals and care homes onwards.
Many London buildings have had their ventilation extended and altered through several fit-outs, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. In Ruislip, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What the work involves, part by part
Supply ductwork
We check supply ducts at intervals along each run before deciding what to clean.
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and slowly narrow.
Common questions in Ruislip
Do you clean school ventilation in Ruislip in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 28 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Ruislip. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What do you need to know about parking in Ruislip?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Ruislip makes the visit easier to plan. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. We clean the grilles and diffusers along with the ductwork, so dust isn’t left at the outlets.
Do you survey the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, on site or from photos and drawings, then we send you a fixed quote.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Why deal with it now?
Dust in ducts doesn’t go away on its own. Every year adds to the job, and more of it finds its way back into the building. A booked night’s work in Ruislip costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. If your building in Ruislip has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- Inspection comes next, with photos of the inside of the ducts.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
