Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Temple Bar
Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. We are often asked to deal with odours carried round the building by the ducts and poor airflow from the vents, on supply ductwork, toilet extract systems and general extract ductwork.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. In Temple Bar, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Temple Bar
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Systems missing access panels
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
If you manage shops or offices close to City Thameslink station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.

Questions from Temple Bar
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Temple Bar in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 86 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Temple Bar. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Does London parking affect a job in Temple Bar?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. In Temple Bar, as across London, we usually work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We survey the system from drawings, pictures or a site visit.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Different parts, different methods
Offices and retail
Offices and shops tend to need the work done outside opening hours to keep the space open.
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. They collect dust, lint and fibres and slowly narrow.
Why act early in Temple Bar
Leave dust in the ductwork and it keeps building. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and more of it finds its way back into the building. For a site in Temple Bar, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
