Ventilation duct cleaning in Shirley Oaks, done properly
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Clean ducts are part of a healthy building, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. If you have extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and stuffy rooms and stale air, we can put it right, from offices and schools, grilles and diffusers and toilet extract systems onwards.
Many London buildings have had their ventilation extended and altered through several fit-outs, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Shirley Oaks.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Shirley Oaks
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep filters changed on time
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
Keep up with filter changes to protect the ducts. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Shirley Oaks
Ductwork is hidden above ceilings and in risers, so nobody sees the build-up. The grilles get a wipe, but what’s behind them doesn’t.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Oasis Academy Shirley Park are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Shirley Oaks
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Shirley Oaks in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 17 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Shirley Oaks. You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
What do you need to know about parking in Shirley Oaks?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What 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 any work starts.
Do we need to close while you work?
Typically not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
TR19® Air applies to the general ventilation in buildings like offices, schools and hospitals. Kitchen extract is covered separately, by TR19® Grease.

How the job changes from site to site
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.
Grilles and diffusers
Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. We clean the grilles and look at what’s behind them.
What affects the quote in Shirley Oaks
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- A single visit or a regular plan
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. In a London area like Shirley Oaks, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- We survey the system from drawings, pictures or a site visit.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
