Leave it or put it right?
Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Skipping it leaves you guessing. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Why us?
- A written report with photos after each visit
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Trading since 2009
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Appledore
Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Dust and debris build up in both, some of which ends up back in the rooms. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. If you have ducts that need a clean before handover and blocked general extract ductwork, we can put it right, from general extract ductwork, hospitals and care homes and grilles and diffusers onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Appledore, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What affects the quote in Appledore
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- 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, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Appledore can be planned properly.
- We survey the system from drawings, pictures or a site visit.
- Inspection comes next, with pictures of the inside of the ducts.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Common problems we fix in Appledore
Why does it matter?: dirt in the ducts can come back out of the grilles, slow the air and add strain on fans. In hospitals, care homes and schools, clean air is especially important.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
Every job around Appledore ends with a record of what was cleaned and what was found.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so it’s all in one place. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
