About our ventilation duct cleaning in West Silvertown
We get into the ducts through access panels along each run. Where there are not enough panels to reach every section, we note the uncleaned parts in the report, and new access panels can be installed so they’re covered next time. We’re often asked to deal with ductwork with too few access panels to clean and odours carried round the building by the ducts, on grilles and diffusers, offices and schools and hospitals and care homes.
In London, plant rooms are often in basements or on roofs reached through occupied floors, so work in West Silvertown is often done in the evening or at weekends. Loading and parking are planned with the building first.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

Who is the responsible person?

How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. The rest are cleaned where they are.

Different parts, different methods
Grilles and diffusers
Every duct ends at a grille or diffuser in the room. They’re cleaned along with the ductwork, so the room side matches the duct side.
Supply ductwork
Supply ducts carry air from the AHU into the rooms. Dust that slips past the filters builds up inside, and we remove it through access panels.
Why act early in West Silvertown
Leave dust in the ductwork and it keeps building. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and more of it finds its way back into the building. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in West Silvertown is usually out of hours.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
