An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Southwark
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after photos. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, so you have it all on record. If you are dealing with poor airflow from the vents and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning, we can help, from grilles and diffusers, toilet extract systems and general extract ductwork onwards.
London buildings often depend on air handling units in plant rooms or on the roof to supply fresh air. In a building in Southwark, dust and debris build up in the units and ductwork over time.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Questions from Southwark
Can ventilation in schools around Southwark be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 93 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Southwark. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work overnight in Southwark?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Is Southwark in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Southwark.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What ventilation duct cleaning looks like in Southwark
Food Standards Agency data includes about 93 schools, colleges and universities, about 52 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 102 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Southwark. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. About less than half a mile south-east of Southwark is Surrey Dispensary, the nearest hospital. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes. Many London buildings have had their ductwork altered through several fit-outs, so an inspection comes first.
If you run an office near Elephant & Castle station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside. Healthcare buildings such as Surrey Dispensary, about under half a mile south-east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Southwark, yours matters too.
Southwark is about 0 miles north-west of London, in Greater London. From the centre of Southwark to the outskirts, we cover ventilation duct cleaning for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. Our Greater London coverage runs to 764 places, and Southwark is one of them.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep filters changed on time
- Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so it’s all in one place. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
Common problems we fix in Southwark
In a building in Southwark, the ventilation may run for long hours every day, and every hour of running brings more dust with it. Heavier use means faster build-up.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
For schools like Charles Dickens Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Leave it or put it right?
Smells, dust around grilles and stuffy rooms are signs the system needs attention. Acting early keeps the clean simpler. A building in Southwark may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Part by part
Schools and colleges
Holidays and weekends are the natural time to clean school ventilation, when classrooms are empty.
Supply ductwork
Supply ductwork delivers conditioned air to each room. Fine dust that gets past the filters settles along the runs, and we remove it through access panels.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. If your building in Southwark has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Move anything stored near the system
