Silvertown ventilation duct cleaning
Professional ventilation duct cleaning in and around Silvertown, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with photos.
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- File each ventilation report with the building records
Before any works, think about the ducts. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Silvertown
A dusty duct in a building in Silvertown is more than an eyesore. It can restrict airflow, make the system work harder and send dust back into occupied rooms. A clean puts the system back as it should be. The work covers toilet extract systems, grilles and diffusers and general extract ductwork, and the jobs we see most are grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. In Silvertown, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Silvertown questions
Can you come to Silvertown after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Silvertown keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you clean school ventilation in Silvertown during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 53 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Silvertown. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
What happens if parts of the ductwork can’t be reached?
Those sections are recorded as not cleaned in the report, with the reason. We can fit new access panels so they’re covered next time.
Do you work in Silvertown?
Yes. We work in Silvertown and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
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 long does ventilation cleaning take?
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.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. 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.
When should our ventilation next be cleaned?
TR19® Air is risk-based, so cleaning follows inspection rather than a fixed calendar. Each report recommends when the system should next be inspected.
Silvertown buildings and their air
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 53 schools, colleges and universities, about 46 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 19 hotels and guest houses serving food within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Silvertown. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. In London, ventilation plant is often on the roof or below ground, so the work is usually done out of hours. Silvertown’s nearest hospital, Albert Dock Seamen's Hospital, is about 0.9 miles north. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital.
If you manage a school such as Britannia Village Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays. Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Albert Dock Seamen's Hospital (about 0.9 miles north) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Silvertown
Filters never catch everything, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
Workplaces around Custom House station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What records you will receive afterwards
- What insurance they carry
