Different parts, different methods
Hospitals and care homes
People in hospitals and care homes can be more vulnerable to poor air. Inspection-led cleaning under TR19® Air helps keep systems in good condition.
Supply ductwork
Dust in supply ducts can be blown straight into occupied rooms. Cleaning it deals with the source.
About our ventilation duct cleaning in Upper Norwood
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. If you have duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning and poor airflow from the vents, we can help.
Across London, offices, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings rely on mechanical ventilation, much of it supplied through air handling units on roofs or in basements. In a building in Upper Norwood, dust and debris build up in the units and ductwork over time.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Common questions in Upper Norwood
Can ventilation in schools around Upper Norwood be cleaned out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Upper Norwood, the Food Standards Agency lists about 36 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Upper Norwood?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in Upper Norwood?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Is Upper Norwood in your area?
Yes. We work in Upper Norwood and across Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
It takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. The size of the system and the access make the biggest difference.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What happens if it’s left?
A clean system moves air more easily, which puts less load on the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. In Upper Norwood, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What else we do in Upper Norwood
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Put it in the diary now so it doesn’t slip.
Do not let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Toilet extract systems

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. In Upper Norwood, as across London, we typically work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What affects the quote in Upper Norwood
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
