Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wanstead
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that deals with general supply and extract ventilation. It’s risk-based and inspection-led, so every job starts with a look inside the ducts. The work covers supply ductwork, offices and schools and general extract ductwork, and people most often call us about extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and musty smells from the ventilation.
London buildings often depend on air handling units in plant rooms or on the roof to supply fresh air. For a building in Wanstead, dust settles in the units and ducts year after year.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Offices and retail
Offices and shops tend to need the work done outside opening hours so staff and customers are not disturbed.
Schools and colleges
Classrooms full of people, paper and coats produce plenty of dust. Inspection shows when cleaning is due.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Keep filters changed on time
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
FAQs for Wanstead
Can you work in Wanstead outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Wanstead can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Wanstead?
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 usually gets round them.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes, always. We check the layout, access and condition, so the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. The rest are cleaned where they are.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Wanstead needs from us.
- 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.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system

Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. Wanstead Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 0.5 miles north of Wanstead. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients. In London, ventilation plant is often on the roof or below ground, so the work is usually done out of hours.
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Wanstead, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Wanstead Hospital (about 0.5 miles north). Classrooms and halls at schools such as Wanstead Church School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
