About our ventilation duct cleaning in Woodford
Ductwork is reached through access panels at intervals along the system. If some sections can’t be reached, the report says so, and we can fit new panels for the next clean. The work covers offices and schools, hospitals and care homes and supply ductwork, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork with too few access panels to clean and ventilation full of debris from building work.
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 Woodford, dust and debris build up in the units and ductwork over time, which is what TR19® Air cleaning deals with.
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. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix
Ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Toilet extract systems
- Offices and schools
- General extract ductwork
- Supply ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers
- Hospitals and care homes
What affects the quote in Woodford
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

Common questions in Woodford
Can you work in Woodford outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Woodford doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you clean school ventilation in Woodford in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Woodford, the Food Standards Agency lists about 34 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
That varies with the building, the filters and how hard the system works. Inspecting regularly shows when cleaning is needed.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes, along with the ducts behind them. They show up in the photo report before and after.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. For a job in Woodford, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Get a fixed quote
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

What else we do in Woodford
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Log every filter change
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Fit access panels where the ductwork cannot be reached. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
How the job changes from site to site
Schools and colleges
Holidays and weekends are the natural time to clean school ventilation, when classrooms are empty.
Offices and retail
In offices and retail, we often work evenings, overnight or at weekends to keep the space open.
