When to call us in Badlesmere
Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Where there’s condensation or a leak, dust clings and builds faster, which is harder to shift later.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Sheldwich Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

What affects the quote in Badlesmere
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
What ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Do you work in villages like Badlesmere?
Yes, Badlesmere is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Badlesmere be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Badlesmere doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
What should I send you?

Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: 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, which takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Badlesmere.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Get a fixed quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. Clearing the duct helps the fan do its job.
Hospitals and care homes
People in hospitals and care homes can be more vulnerable to poor air. Inspecting and cleaning to TR19® Air supports good air quality.
