How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Chalk
Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Dust and debris build up in both, some of which ends up back in the rooms. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. Common call-outs are for ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection and dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers, on offices and schools, hospitals and care homes and supply ductwork.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Different parts, different methods
Hospitals and care homes
In care settings, keeping dust contained is a priority. We protect the work area and take everything away.
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. They collect dust, lint and fibres and slowly narrow.
Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Chalk
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Questions from Chalk
Can the work in Chalk be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Chalk does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Is Chalk within the area you cover?
Yes. Chalk is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. We clean the grilles and diffusers along with the ductwork, so the room side is clean too.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in Chalk?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and pictures. The report lists what was cleaned, anything not reached and the next inspection date.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What ventilation duct cleaning looks like in Chalk
There are about 15 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register in and around Chalk, up to about a mile and a half out. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. About 2.1 miles north-west of Chalk is Gravesham Community Hospital, the nearest hospital. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale. Chalk, about 22 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
For schools like Thamesview School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Chalk, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Gravesham Community Hospital (about 2.1 miles north-west).

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on.

- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before photos are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.

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 are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What else we do in Chalk
Why it’s worth doing now in Chalk

When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Stick to the filter change schedule
Before any works, think about the ducts. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
