How we price ventilation duct cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Chillenden
Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Over time, both collect dust and debris, some of which ends up back in the rooms. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. The work covers general extract ductwork, grilles and diffusers and toilet extract systems, and the jobs we see most are musty smells from the ventilation and grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt.
Somewhere as small as Chillenden, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What the work involves, part by part

Grilles and diffusers
Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. The grilles are cleaned and the ducts behind inspected.

What else we do in Chillenden
Common questions in Chillenden
Is Chillenden within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Chillenden included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Chillenden outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Chillenden needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in Chillenden?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What happens if it’s left?
Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which takes strain off the fans. Leaving them means the plant works harder for the same result. In a small place like Chillenden, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Log every filter change
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, based on what we found. Diary it straight away so it does not slip.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. The timing of a visit to Chillenden is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
