- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork

About our ventilation duct cleaning in Walworth
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after photos. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, so you have it all on record. The work covers general extract ductwork, hospitals and care homes and offices and schools, and the jobs we see most are dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers and musty smells from the ventilation.
London buildings tend to keep their plant on the roof or below ground, so ventilation cleaning in Walworth is normally planned out of hours. Parking and loading are agreed with the building in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Different parts, different methods
Offices and retail
Shared systems in multi-let buildings need access to several areas. We plan access with the managing agent.
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and restrict the flow over time.

Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so it’s all in one place. Over time, it shows how quickly the system gets dirty.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as moisture makes dust stick.

Questions from Walworth
Can the work in Walworth be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Walworth keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Can ventilation in schools around Walworth be cleaned out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 118 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Walworth. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?

How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
