Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Aylesham
We always start by inspecting. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That way the work matches the real condition. If you are dealing with systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and odours carried round the building by the ducts, we can put it right, from general extract ductwork, hospitals and care homes and grilles and diffusers onwards.
In a smaller place like Aylesham, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

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 the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

What else we do in Aylesham
Part by part
Grilles and diffusers
Dust marks around grilles can point to dirt further back in the system. We clean the grilles and look at what’s behind them.
Hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, there’s no quiet time. The work is sequenced with staff so care carries on.
Why it’s worth doing now in Aylesham
Dust streaks around grilles and stale rooms suggest the ducts need looking at. Acting early keeps the clean simpler. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
FAQs for Aylesham
Can you clean school ventilation in Aylesham during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Aylesham. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you come to Aylesham after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Aylesham doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes. The certificate records the date and location of the work and the technician, along with photos before and after.
What if there aren’t enough access panels?
Accessible sections are cleaned and the others recorded. Fitting access panels tends to be the answer, and we can fit them.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Keep filters changed on time
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters are the quickest way to undo a duct clean.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.
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 the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Aylesham.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
