- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
What the work involves, part by part
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.
Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. A clean duct takes the load off.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Wallington, done properly
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Keeping the ducts clean is a sensible part of looking after them, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. The work covers general extract ductwork, toilet extract systems and offices and schools, and people most often call us about ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning.
London buildings tend to keep their plant on the roof or below ground, so ventilation cleaning in Wallington is usually planned out of hours. Parking and loading are agreed with the building in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Keep filters changed on time
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
Keep up with filter changes to protect the ducts. Overdue filters are the quickest way to undo a duct clean.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
Wallington: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Wallington?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can ventilation in schools around Wallington be cleaned out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Wallington, the Food Standards Agency lists about 35 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
As a guide, it takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Large buildings can be phased, often out of hours, to fit around the building.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. The rest are cleaned where they are.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Wallington
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote

Want a quote for ventilation duct cleaning? Please ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Why act early in Wallington
Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Putting the inspection off just means you do not know where you stand. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
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 any work starts.

Ventilation in Wallington buildings
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 35 schools, colleges and universities, about 66 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses serving food in Wallington and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. Many London buildings have had their ductwork altered through several fit-outs, so an inspection comes first. Queen Mary's Hospital For Children is the nearest hospital, about 1.4 miles south-west of Wallington. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital.
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Holy Trinity CofE Junior School are easiest to work in when pupils are away. Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Queen Mary's Hospital For Children (about 1.4 miles south-west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts. If you run an office near Wallington station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside.

How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. In Wallington, as across London, we usually work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We survey the system from drawings, photos or a site visit.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
