How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Tooting
Beyond the kitchen, TR19® Air covers the ordinary supply and extract systems that serve offices, schools and other buildings. It’s risk-based and inspection-led, so we look before we clean. The work covers toilet extract systems, grilles and diffusers and offices and schools, and people most often call us about ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and blocked general extract ductwork.
London buildings often depend on air handling units in plant rooms or on the roof to supply fresh air. For a building in Tooting, dust settles in the units and ducts year after year, which is what TR19® Air cleaning deals with.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
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 contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Need a price for ventilation duct cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site. We will talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Tooting: your questions answered
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Tooting in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 31 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Tooting, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
How do you handle parking and loading in Tooting?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.
Can you clean ventilation out of hours?
Yes. The work is planned around the building’s hours. Schools are often done in the holidays and offices out of hours.
Do you work in Tooting?
Yes. Tooting is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
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 law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
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.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Log every filter change
Keep up with filter changes to protect the ducts. Overdue filters are the quickest way to undo a duct clean.
Keep filters changed on time. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.

Different parts, different methods
Hospitals and care homes
Hospitals and care homes are occupied day and night. We plan the order of work with the site team so care carries on.
Extract ductwork
Toilet and washroom extract can carry moisture as well as dust, so the dust tends to cling. We clean them and note any damp or corrosion.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the ventilation duct cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Tooting.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before photos are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
