How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Shacklewell
Beyond the kitchen, TR19® Air covers the ordinary supply and extract systems that serve offices, schools and other buildings. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so we look before we clean. If you are dealing with ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection and dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers, we can put it right.
In London, plant rooms are often in basements or on roofs reached through occupied floors, so ventilation cleaning in Shacklewell is usually planned out of hours. Loading and parking are planned with the building first.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Shacklewell
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Different parts, different methods
Offices and retail
Shared systems in multi-let buildings need access to several areas. We plan access with the managing agent.
Schools and colleges
Classrooms full of people, paper and coats produce plenty of dust. Regular inspection keeps on top of it.

What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.

How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If your building in Shacklewell has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Why it’s worth doing now in Shacklewell
Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which puts less load on the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. In Shacklewell, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Classrooms and halls at schools such as The Petchey Academy are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
