How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Chegworth
We cover Chegworth and the rest of Kent for ventilation duct cleaning, from offices and schools to hospitals, care homes and shops. Every job begins with a survey and a fixed quote. The work covers toilet extract systems, hospitals and care homes and grilles and diffusers, and the jobs we see most are extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and odours carried round the building by the ducts.
Work in a small place like Chegworth starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Why it’s worth doing now in Chegworth
Dust in ducts doesn’t go away on its own. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and the more gets blown back into the rooms. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. The timing of a visit to Chegworth is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.

Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Chegworth
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

What we are called out for in Chegworth
In a building in Chegworth, the ventilation may run for long hours every day, and every hour moves more dust through the ducts. Heavier use means faster build-up.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
School buildings such as Harrietsham Church of England Primary School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What insurance they carry
- What hours they’ll be on site
What the work involves, part by part
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers are where the ducts meet the room. They’re cleaned along with the ductwork, so the room side matches the duct side.
Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. Clearing the duct helps the fan do its job.

FAQs for Chegworth
Can ventilation in schools around Chegworth be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Chegworth. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Is Chegworth within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
As a guide, it takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Large buildings can be phased, often out of hours, and we’ll confirm the plan when we quote.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. If photos are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. Where they can be removed, they’re taken down, cleaned and refitted. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Protect the system from construction dust
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Diary it straight away so it does not slip.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
