How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in St Giles
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after photos. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, so you have it all on record. The work covers grilles and diffusers, offices and schools and toilet extract systems, and people most often call us about musty smells from the ventilation and toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff.
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 Giles, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in St Giles
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.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Stick to the filter change schedule
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as moisture makes dust stick.
Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in St Giles
Can you clean school ventilation in St Giles during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 81 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of St Giles. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you come to St Giles after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
When should our ventilation next be cleaned?
Inspection should decide it, in line with TR19® Air. Heavily used buildings, or those with vulnerable occupants, may need attention more often.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What is TR19® Air?
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.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in St Giles.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in St Giles
Moisture in ducts makes dust stick. Condensation and leaks turn loose dust into a stubborn layer, and it becomes harder to remove.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
St Paul's Hospital, about under half a mile east, is the nearest hospital to St Giles, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.
Before booking anyone
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What insurance they carry
What the work involves, part by part
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers are where the ducts meet the room. They’re cleaned along with the ductwork, so dust on them isn’t blown back in.
Extract ductwork
Toilet and washroom extract can carry moisture as well as dust, so the dust tends to cling. They’re cleaned and their condition recorded.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
