How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in South Bank
We cover South Bank and the rest of Greater London for ventilation duct cleaning, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Every job begins with a survey and a fixed quote. Typical jobs include musty smells from the ventilation and ventilation full of debris from building work, across offices and schools, toilet extract systems and hospitals and care homes.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. In South Bank, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building, and we clear up before we go. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in South Bank.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

South Bank questions
Can you clean school ventilation in South Bank during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 88 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of South Bank. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can the work in South Bank be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in South Bank can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What does TR19 Air cover?
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that covers general supply and extract ventilation, beyond the kitchen. It’s risk-based and led by inspection, and kitchen extract falls under TR19® Grease.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do we need to close while you work?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Do you provide a report?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and photos. It also notes unreached sections and a recommended next inspection.
Why it’s worth doing now in South Bank
In healthcare, care and education settings, ventilation cleaning is hard to put off. Good indoor air starts with a clean system. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in South Bank
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, especially when the system runs during the work. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Systems missing access panels
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
Wherever a school like Oasis Academy Johanna has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- What paperwork you get at the end
Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in South Bank
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so it’s all in one place. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Protect the system during building work by switching it off or covering the grilles.
