Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Colt's Hill
A dusty duct in a building in Colt's Hill is more than an eyesore. It can restrict airflow, make the system work harder and send dust back into occupied rooms. Cleaning restores the clear airway the system was designed with. Typical jobs include damp or stale smells from grilles and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected, across hospitals and care homes, supply ductwork and grilles and diffusers.
For a building in or near Colt's Hill, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

Questions from Colt's Hill
Can the work in Colt's Hill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Colt's Hill doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Is Colt's Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, Colt's Hill is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. We clean the grilles and diffusers along with the ductwork, so the room side is clean too.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Do you inspect before cleaning?
Yes. We always survey first, on site or from photos and drawings, then we send you a fixed quote.
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Visits to a village like Colt's Hill are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Part by part
Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. A clean duct takes the load off.
Hospitals and care homes
Dust control matters during work in occupied care settings. We protect the work area and take everything away.
Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Colt's Hill
Moisture in ducts makes dust stick. Where there’s condensation or a leak, dust clings and builds faster, which is harder to shift later.
What we are most often called out for:
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Tunbridge Wells Hospital (about 2.8 miles south-west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Hospitals and care homes
- Supply ductwork
- Offices and schools
- Grilles and diffusers
- Toilet extract systems
- General extract ductwork
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, with pictures before and after. If access panels are needed, we’ll say where.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
