Ventilation duct cleaning in Westbourne, done properly
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. Typical jobs include construction dust left in ducts after a refit and musty smells from the ventilation, on supply ductwork, toilet extract systems and hospitals and care homes.
Across London, offices, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings rely on mechanical ventilation, much of it supplied through air handling units on roofs or in basements. In a building in Westbourne, dust and debris build up in the units and ductwork over time.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
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.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Protect the system from construction dust
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Westbourne
Can you clean school ventilation in Westbourne during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Westbourne, the Food Standards Agency lists about 91 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.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Westbourne?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
What does TR19 Air cover?
TR19® Air deals with general ventilation, while TR19® Grease deals with kitchen extract. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day.

- We survey the system from drawings, pictures or a site visit.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
Hospitals such as Paddington General Hospital (about 0.5 miles north) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Westbourne are no different.
