Managing agents and facilities teams in Broadstairs
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.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Broadstairs
In a building in Broadstairs, the people inside spend hours breathing what the ventilation delivers. Clean ducts are part of a healthy building, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. If you’re dealing with grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning, we can help, from general extract ductwork, supply ductwork and offices and schools onwards.
In Broadstairs, ventilation in schools and offices is cleaned when the building is quiet: out of hours, at weekends or during the holidays.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. 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.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. For a site in a town like Broadstairs, tell us your opening hours, where we can park and how we reach the roof or plant.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Ventilation full of debris from building work

FAQs for Broadstairs
Do you clean school ventilation in Broadstairs in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 23 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Broadstairs. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you do ventilation duct cleaning in Broadstairs?
Yes, Broadstairs is covered. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few pictures of the system.
Do you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and weekends, to keep the building open.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
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.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract ductwork
Washroom extracts handle damp air, which makes dirt stick. They’re cleaned and their condition recorded.
Supply ductwork
Anything in a supply duct can end up in the rooms it feeds. We clean the runs so it is not blown back in.
Broadstairs buildings and their air
There are about 23 schools, colleges and universities, about 15 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 5 hotels and B&Bs on the FSA’s food hygiene register in and around Broadstairs, up to about a mile and a half out. Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. About 2 miles north-west of Broadstairs is Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital, the nearest hospital. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital.
Classrooms and halls at schools such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away. Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital, about 2 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to Broadstairs, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

Why act early in Broadstairs
After building work, cleaning the ventilation before people move back in makes sense. Otherwise construction dust left in the ducts is blown out once the system runs. An inspector or insurer will want to see recent records, so it makes sense to have them ready.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Watch for water stains around grilles
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.
