How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Selhurst
Dust in ventilation ductwork is not only a cleanliness issue. It can restrict airflow, make the system work harder and send dust back into occupied rooms. Cleaning restores the clear airway the system was designed with. Typical jobs include stuffy rooms and stale air and ductwork with too few access panels to clean, on supply ductwork, offices and schools and hospitals and care homes.
Across London, offices, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings rely on mechanical ventilation, much of it supplied through air handling units on roofs or in basements. In a building in Selhurst, dust and debris build up in the units and ductwork over time.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Selhurst
Can ventilation in schools around Selhurst be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 36 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Selhurst, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can the work in Selhurst be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Selhurst keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
How much time does a ventilation clean need?
Expect it to take a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. The size of the system and the access make the biggest difference.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.

What else we do in Selhurst
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Expect the work in Selhurst to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote

What we are called out for in Selhurst
Even good filters let some dust through, so fine dust settles in supply ductwork over the years. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
If you manage offices or shops near Norwood Junction station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether a survey comes first
Managing agents and facilities teams in Selhurst
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, based on what we found. Diary it right away so it isn’t missed.
Keep filters changed on time. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
- A system that is not designed to move enough air
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
