How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in South Town

We get into the ducts through access panels at intervals along the system. If some sections cannot be reached, the report says so, and we can fit new panels for the next clean. The work covers hospitals and care homes, offices and schools and supply ductwork, and common reasons people get in touch are poor airflow from the vents and ventilation full of debris from building work.

In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.

For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:

  • Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
  • Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
  • Protect the system from construction dust
  • Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles

If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.

Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.

The process

Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to South Town run smoothly.

  1. We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
  2. We open the ductwork through its access panels.
  3. We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
  4. Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
  5. After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What the work involves, part by part

Extract ductwork

General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and slowly narrow.

Supply ductwork

Dust in supply ducts can be blown straight into occupied rooms. We clean the runs so it is not blown back in.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Common questions in South Town

Can you come to South Town after we close?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in South Town can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.

Is ventilation duct cleaning available in South Town?

Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, South Town included. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with a few details of the site.

Where does the waste go?

It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.

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 work begins.

Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?

Yes, a TR19® certificate and photos. The report lists what was cleaned, anything not reached and the next inspection date.

What’s TR19?

A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.

Do we lose a day’s trading?

Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.

Common problems we fix in South Town

Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.

These are the problems we see most often:

  • Ducts that need a clean before handover
  • Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
  • Odours carried round the building by the ducts
  • Supply ducts with years of dust inside

If you manage a school such as Medstead Church of England Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
