When it’s something else

We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:

  • Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
  • Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
  • A system that is not designed to move enough air

Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Ventilation duct cleaning in Seven Dials, done properly

Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, so you have it all on record. If you have systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning, we can help.

For a building near Seven Dials, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The method doesn’t change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.

For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:

  • The scale of the work
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • Any permits to work or inductions

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Asking for a quote

Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:

  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • The postcode and the type of business

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Part by part

Supply ductwork

Dust in supply ducts can be blown straight into occupied rooms. We clean the runs so it isn’t blown back in.

Schools and colleges

Schools and colleges are easiest to clean during the holidays, when classrooms are empty.

Seven Dials questions

Can you clean school ventilation in Seven Dials during the holidays?

Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 57 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Seven Dials. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.

Is Seven Dials within the area you cover?

Yes, Seven Dials is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?

We do not publish prices, because the cost 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 any work starts.

What’s TR19?

BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

Can you clean without closing the building?

Yes. We fit the work around when the building is in use. Holidays suit schools, and evenings or weekends suit offices.

What is TR19® Air?

TR19® Air applies to the general ventilation in buildings like offices, schools and hospitals. Kitchen extract systems fall under TR19® Grease instead.

How much notice do you need?

For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?

Yes. The certificate records the date and location of the work and the technician, along with photos before and after.

How the visit works

The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one, and we clear up before we go. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Seven Dials can typically be finished without a second trip.

  1. We look at the system and any earlier reports.
  2. Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
  3. The work area is protected and the system switched off.
  4. Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
  5. The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.

Before we arrive

  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Clear the space around the work
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice

Why deal with it now?

In healthcare, care and education settings, ventilation cleaning is hard to put off. Good indoor air starts with a clean system. A site near Seven Dials that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.

Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Multi-site and managed buildings

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.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
