How it works

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Expect the work in Thamesmead to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.

  1. We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
  2. Access panels are opened along each run.
  3. We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
  4. Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
  5. After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.

Advice

Ventilation duct cleaning in Thamesmead

We always start by inspecting. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That way the work matches the real condition. The work covers offices and schools, hospitals and care homes and general extract ductwork, and common reasons people get in touch are systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers.

London buildings tend to keep their plant on the roof or below ground, so work in Thamesmead is often done in the evening or at weekends. Parking and loading are agreed with the building in advance.

We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Why deal with it now?

Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Putting the inspection off just means you don’t know where you stand. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

What you get with us

  • Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
  • A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
  • Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
  • A written report with photos after each visit

Ventilation in Thamesmead buildings

The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 29 schools, colleges and universities and about 30 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises with registered kitchens or food service across Thamesmead and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. In London, ventilation plant is often on the roof or below ground, so the work is typically done out of hours. Thamesmead’s nearest hospital, Erith and District Hospital, is about 2.6 miles south-east. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.

Hospitals such as Erith and District Hospital (about 2.6 miles south-east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Thamesmead are no different. School buildings such as Jubilee Primary School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

Thamesmead is about 2 miles north-east of Plumstead, in Greater London. Anywhere in SE28, we can take on ventilation duct cleaning. Thamesmead is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover for ventilation duct cleaning. London is in our area too, about 10 miles from Thamesmead.

Keeping the system healthy

To keep the system working properly between visits:

  • File each ventilation report with the building records
  • Include grilles in the cleaning rota
  • Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
  • Watch for water stains around grilles

What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, with pictures before and after. If access panels are needed, we will say where.

Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.

FAQs for Thamesmead

Do you work overnight in Thamesmead?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.

Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Thamesmead in the summer holidays?

Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 29 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Thamesmead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.

Do you cover Thamesmead?

Yes. Our technicians work in Thamesmead, within the South East and London area we cover.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we will survey first.

Do we lose a day’s trading?

Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.

What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.

How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?

TR19® Air deals with general ventilation, while TR19® Grease deals with kitchen extract. TR19® Air takes an inspection-led, risk-based approach.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

For landlords and multi-site operators

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

Honest limits

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

  • Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
  • Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
  • Building management settings that run the plant

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What the work covers

  • Grilles and diffusers
  • Hospitals and care homes
  • Toilet extract systems
  • Offices and schools
  • General extract ductwork
  • Supply ductwork

How we price ventilation duct cleaning

Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • Any permits to work or inductions

A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.

Helping us quote

We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:

  • Any previous report or certificate
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
