What happens if it’s left?
Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Putting the inspection off just means you do not know where you stand. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Ventilation duct cleaning in Streatham, done properly
Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Dust and debris build up in both, some of which ends up back in the rooms. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. Common call-outs are for systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt, across hospitals and care homes, general extract ductwork and grilles and diffusers.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. In Streatham, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What affects the quote in Streatham
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
If you need ventilation duct cleaning in Streatham, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Don’t let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
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.
Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Streatham
Do you work at weekends in Streatham?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Streatham needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you clean school ventilation in Streatham in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 30 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Streatham. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
TR19® Air is risk-based, so cleaning follows inspection rather than a fixed calendar. We suggest a next inspection date after every visit.
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’ll talk you through the next steps.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, 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, which applies in England and Wales.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and pictures. The report lists what was cleaned, anything not reached and the next inspection date.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Streatham: local notes
Food Standards Agency data includes about 30 schools, colleges and universities, about 96 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses across Streatham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. In London, ventilation plant is often on the roof or below ground, so the work is typically done out of hours. Tooting Bec Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 1 mile west of Streatham. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital.
Hospitals such as Tooting Bec Hospital (about 1 mile west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Streatham are no different. For schools like St Andrew's Catholic Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation. If you run an office near Streatham station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside.

Part by part
Hospitals and care homes
Patients and residents may be more sensitive to dust in the air. Inspection-led cleaning under TR19® Air helps keep systems in good condition.
Grilles and diffusers
Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. We clean the grilles and look at what’s behind them.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which 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 Streatham saves time on the night.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
