What the work involves, part by part
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers that are designed to come out are removed for cleaning, then refitted.
Hospitals and care homes
In care settings, keeping dust contained is a priority. The area is protected, and debris contained and removed.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Clapper Hill, done properly
Inspection comes first. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That way the work matches the real condition. We’re often asked to deal with toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected, on general extract ductwork, toilet extract systems and hospitals and care homes.
For a building in or near Clapper Hill, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, 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. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Clapper Hill knowing what to expect.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
When to call us in Clapper Hill
Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Condensation and leaks turn loose dust into a stubborn layer, which is harder to shift later.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Clapper Hill, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Benenden Hospital (about 1.1 miles south-west).

Questions from Clapper Hill
Can you do ventilation duct cleaning in Clapper Hill?
Yes, Clapper Hill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Can you come to Clapper Hill after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Clapper Hill doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
The clean takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. The survey gives us a clearer idea, so call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line to get started.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes. You get a certificate with the date, location and technician, plus a photo report.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, backed up by before and after pictures. We will suggest where new access panels would help.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
