Ventilation duct cleaning in South Bermondsey

For landlords and multi-site operators

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

Ventilation duct cleaning in South Bermondsey

Inspection comes first. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, then recommend cleaning where it’s needed. That way the work matches the real condition. The work covers general extract ductwork, supply ductwork and grilles and diffusers, and people most often call us about systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and blocked general extract ductwork.

In London, plant rooms are often in basements or on roofs reached through occupied floors, so ventilation cleaning in South Bermondsey is normally planned out of hours. Parking and loading are agreed with the building in advance.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What affects the quote in South Bermondsey

Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:

  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • Whether several sites go on one quote

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 will get one fixed quote.

Asking for a quote

You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:

  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it

To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Ventilation duct cleaning around South Bermondsey

Food Standards Agency data includes about 90 schools, colleges and universities, about 66 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 11 hotels and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central South Bermondsey. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. Ventilation cleaning in London buildings is normally planned for evenings or weekends. South Bermondsey’s nearest hospital, New Cross Hospital, is about 0.6 miles south-east. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.

Wherever a school like Ilderton Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time. If you run an office near South Bermondsey station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside. Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like New Cross Hospital (about 0.6 miles south-east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

South Bermondsey is about 2 miles north-west of New Cross, in Greater London. Across the SE16 area, we can carry out ventilation duct cleaning at your premises. Across Greater London, we cover 764 places, and South Bermondsey is one of them.

All of SE16, SE15 and SE1 is covered for ventilation duct cleaning, from busy streets to back roads. If you need ventilation duct cleaning at premises on Tenda Road, Rolls Road and Simms Road or a nearby road, we can help.

South Bermondsey: your questions answered

Do you work at weekends in South Bermondsey?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in South Bermondsey doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.

Can a school’s ventilation in South Bermondsey be done out of term time?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 90 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of South Bermondsey. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.

How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?

The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.

What’s TR19?

It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.

What accreditations do you have?

We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

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.

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.

Keeping the system healthy

So the system stays in good health:

  • Protect the system from construction dust
  • Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
  • Keep filters changed on time
  • Report dust blowing from grilles straight away

Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters are the quickest way to undo a duct clean.

Fit access panels where the ductwork can’t be reached. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.

Leave it or put it right?

Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which puts less load on the fans. Leaving them means the plant works harder for the same result. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.

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.

When it’s something else

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
  • Leaking or broken duct sections
  • Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead

If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Hospitals and care homes
  • Toilet extract systems
  • Supply ductwork
  • General extract ductwork
  • Offices and schools
  • Grilles and diffusers

What the work involves, part by part

Offices and retail

In offices and retail, we often work evenings, overnight or at weekends to keep the space open.

Extract ductwork

Extract ducts take air out of toilets, washrooms and general areas. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and slowly narrow.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in South Bermondsey.

  1. We look at the system and any earlier reports.
  2. Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
  3. We cover the area below and turn off the system.
  4. We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
  5. We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.

Preparing for the visit

  • Find the previous report, if there is one
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Clear loose items from the work area

Ask for a quote

To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
