Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Addington
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. The work covers grilles and diffusers, offices and schools and general extract ductwork, and common reasons people get in touch are blocked general extract ductwork and odours carried round the building by the ducts.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Addington
Can you come to Addington after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Addington does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you clean school ventilation in Addington in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 10 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Addington. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
That varies with the building, the filters and how hard the system works. Inspecting regularly shows when cleaning is needed.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

What staff can safely do
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 simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Part by part
Offices and retail
Offices and shops tend to need the work done outside opening hours to keep the space open.
Schools and colleges
The work is fitted around term dates and events, with access agreed with the caretaker or site manager.
Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Addington?
Ductwork is hidden above ceilings and in risers, so dust collects unseen. Grilles may be wiped, but the ducts behind them rarely are.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Musty smells from the ventilation
Wherever a school like Offham Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere like Addington, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading
