How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in St George in the East
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that deals with general supply and extract ventilation. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so every job starts with a look inside the ducts. We’re often asked to deal with musty smells from the ventilation and construction dust left in ducts after a refit, on toilet extract systems, general extract ductwork and supply ductwork.
Many London buildings have had their ventilation extended and altered through several fit-outs, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. In St George in the East, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

St George in the East: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in St George in the East?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in St George in the East doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How do you handle parking and loading in St George in the East?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in St George in the East, and about any building rules on loading. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do you inspect before cleaning?
Yes, always. We check the layout, access and condition before giving a fixed quote.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
When should our ventilation next be cleaned?
That varies with the building, the filters and how hard the system works. Inspecting regularly shows when cleaning is needed.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What happens if it’s left?
A clean system moves air more easily, which takes strain off the fans. Leaving them means the plant works harder for the same result. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in St George in the East
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
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 make a difference.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in St George in the East saves time on the night.
- 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.

- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
For workplaces around Shadwell station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends.
