Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Ventilation duct cleaning in South Chingford, done properly
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Dust and debris build up in both, and some of it is blown back into the building. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. The work covers offices and schools, hospitals and care homes and general extract ductwork, and common reasons people get in touch are ventilation full of debris from building work and blocked general extract ductwork.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. In South Chingford, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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.
Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in South Chingford?
Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Where there’s condensation or a leak, dust clings and builds faster, which is harder to shift later.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Poor airflow from the vents
School buildings such as Chingford Hall Primary Academy are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so it’s all in one place. Over time, it shows how quickly the system gets dirty.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
