Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Chartham Hatch, done properly
Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. Typical jobs include systems missing access panels and extract ducts clogged with lint and dust, on general extract ductwork, hospitals and care homes and offices and schools.
In a village or hamlet like Chartham Hatch, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What affects the quote in Chartham Hatch
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- 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
- Any previous report or certificate

What a clean won’t put right

The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Chartham Hatch before we set off.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- 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.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep filters changed on time
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
FAQs for Chartham Hatch
Do you work at weekends in Chartham Hatch?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is ventilation duct cleaning available in Chartham Hatch?
Yes, Chartham Hatch is covered. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day of the survey details.
When should our ventilation next be cleaned?
Inspection should decide it, in line with TR19® Air. Busy or sensitive buildings may need it more often.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
What happens if parts of the ductwork cannot be reached?
Accessible sections are cleaned and the others recorded. Extra access panels can solve it, and we can fit them.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
Dust in ducts does not go away on its own. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and more of it finds its way back into the building. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
