Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Broad Ford
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that deals with general supply and extract ventilation. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so we look before we clean. If you’re dealing with toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff and dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms, we can help.
For a building in or near Broad Ford, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What we are called out for in Broad Ford
Moisture in ducts makes dust stick. Condensation and leaks turn loose dust into a stubborn layer, which is harder to shift later.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
School buildings such as Horsmonden Primary School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
Before any works, think about the ducts. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Don’t let construction dust into the ventilation by switching it off or covering the grilles.
What affects the quote in Broad Ford
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Different parts, different methods
Supply ductwork
Supply ductwork delivers conditioned air to each room. Dust that slips past the filters builds up inside, and we remove it through access panels.
Schools and colleges
The work is fitted around term dates and events, with access agreed with the caretaker or site manager.

Broad Ford: your questions answered
Will you come out to Broad Ford?
Yes. Broad Ford is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can a school’s ventilation in Broad Ford be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Broad Ford, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
Inspection should decide it, in line with TR19® Air. Heavily used buildings, or those with vulnerable occupants, may need attention more often.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes, along with the ducts behind them. You will see them in the before and after pictures.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we will survey first.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Broad Ford can be planned properly.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- Inspection comes next, with photos of the inside of the ducts.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
