Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ash
We get into the ducts through access panels along each run. Where there aren’t enough panels to reach every section, we note the uncleaned parts in the report, and we can fit new panels so they’re covered next time. If you’re dealing with blocked general extract ductwork and supply ducts with years of dust inside, we can help, from supply ductwork, grilles and diffusers and offices and schools onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Ash questions
Is Ash within the area you cover?
Yes, Ash is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Ash in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Ash, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you provide a report?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you clean without closing the building?
Yes. The work is planned around the building’s hours. Schools are often done in the holidays and offices out of hours.
The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere like Ash, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
In healthcare, care and education settings, ventilation cleaning is hard to put off. Clean ducts are part of providing good air for the people inside. A planned visit to Ash is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Every visit written up, with photos
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

What else we do in Ash
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Put it in the diary now so it is not missed.
Keep filters changed on time. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What we are called out for in Ash
Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
Wherever a school like New Ash Green Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

Ventilation duct cleaning in Ash: local notes
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 4 schools, colleges and universities serving food in Ash and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. Darent Valley Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 5.6 miles north of Ash.

Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Ash
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
