About our ventilation duct cleaning in Ruxley
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Clean ducts are part of a healthy building, as much as clean filters and a well-kept AHU. If you’re dealing with odours carried round the building by the ducts and construction dust left in ducts after a refit, we can put it right.
Many London buildings have had their ventilation extended and altered through several fit-outs, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Ruxley.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Common questions in Ruxley
Can you clean school ventilation in Ruxley during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Ruxley, the Food Standards Agency lists about 10 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Can you come to Ruxley after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Ruxley keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
As a guide, it takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Large buildings can be phased, often out of hours, and we’ll confirm the plan when we quote.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Part by part
Supply ductwork
Supply ductwork delivers conditioned air to each room. Dust that slips past the filters builds up inside, and we remove it through access panels.
Hospitals and care homes
Patients and residents may be more sensitive to dust in the air. Inspection-led cleaning under TR19® Air helps keep systems in good condition.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Protect the system from construction dust
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, with pictures before and after. We will suggest where new access panels would help.
Don’t let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
- A system that is not designed to move enough air
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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, next to our reports.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
