Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Chatham Green
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Clean ducts are part of a healthy building, as much as clean filters and a well-kept AHU. The work covers offices and schools, toilet extract systems and grilles and diffusers, and the jobs we see most are systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and rooms that feel airless when the system runs.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.

The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere as small as Chatham Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We survey the system from drawings, pictures or a site visit.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Preparing 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

How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
TR19® Air deals with general ventilation, while TR19® Grease deals with kitchen extract. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes. Where they can be removed, they’re taken down, cleaned and refitted. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Why it’s worth doing now in Chatham Green
Landlords, tenants and auditors may want proof the ventilation is looked after. A TR19® certificate and photo report from a recent clean give them that. A fault that closes a site in a village like Chatham Green affects everyone who depends on it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every 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.
