- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Sanderstead saves time on the night.
- We survey the system from drawings, photos or a site visit.
- Inspection comes next, with pictures of the inside of the ducts.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Ventilation duct cleaning in Sanderstead
Inspection comes first. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, then recommend cleaning where it’s needed. That way the work matches the real condition. Common call-outs are for grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt and dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years, across toilet extract systems, grilles and diffusers and hospitals and care homes.
In London, plant rooms are often in basements or on roofs reached through occupied floors, so ventilation cleaning in Sanderstead is usually planned out of hours. Parking and loading are agreed with the building in advance.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Why act early in Sanderstead
A clean system moves air more easily, which takes strain off the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

How the job changes from site to site
Supply ductwork
Anything in a supply duct can end up in the rooms it feeds. Cleaning it deals with the source.
Offices and retail
Offices and shops tend to need the work done outside opening hours to keep the space open.
Sanderstead: your questions answered
How do you handle parking and loading in Sanderstead?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Sanderstead, and about any building rules on loading. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
Can you work in Sanderstead outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover Sanderstead?
Yes. We cover Sanderstead and across Greater London, within our South East and London area. To book, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
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 TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
The report lists the sections we cleaned and any we couldn’t reach, with pictures before and after. We’ll suggest where new access panels would help.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as moisture makes dust stick.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
