How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Before any visit in St Paul's Cray, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
About our ventilation duct cleaning in St Paul's Cray
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Over time, both collect dust and debris, some of which ends up back in the rooms. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. The work covers hospitals and care homes, supply ductwork and general extract ductwork, and common reasons people get in touch are dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers and stuffy rooms and stale air.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in St Paul's Cray.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Getting a quote doesn’t 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.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Keep filters changed on time
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Protect the system from construction dust
You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
Common problems we fix in St Paul's Cray
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
If you manage offices or shops near St Mary Cray station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours.

More services for St Paul's Cray
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Why deal with it now?
Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which takes strain off the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. A building in St Paul's Cray 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 the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
