How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Vale of Health
We get into the ducts through access panels along each run. If some sections cannot be reached, the report says so, and we can fit new panels for the next clean. If you have systems missing access panels and damp or stale smells from grilles, we can put it right.
Many London buildings have had their ventilation extended and altered through several fit-outs, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. In Vale of Health, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Vale of Health
Do you work overnight in Vale of Health?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Vale of Health does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Does London parking affect a job in Vale of Health?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How much time does a ventilation clean need?
It takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. How much ductwork there is and how easily it’s reached decide the rest.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Vale of Health.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

What else we do in Vale of Health
Managing agents and facilities teams in Vale of Health
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 each one has its own record.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.
Keep filters changed on time. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
Different parts, different methods
Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. A clean duct takes the load off.
Supply ductwork
Dust in supply ducts can be blown straight into occupied rooms. We clean the runs so it isn’t blown back in.
Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Vale of Health
Most ductwork is out of sight, so dust collects unseen. The grilles get a wipe, but what’s behind them does not.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Systems missing access panels
Workplaces around Hampstead Heath station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the price is fixed
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
