Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Crouch
Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. Common call-outs are for damp or stale smells from grilles and dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers, on toilet extract systems, general extract ductwork and offices and schools.
For a building in or near Crouch, 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What happens if it’s left?
Dust in ducts does not go away on its own. Every year adds to the job, and the more gets blown back into the rooms. In a place like Crouch, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

How it 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 floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Crouch run smoothly.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before photos are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Supply ductwork
Anything in a supply duct can end up in the rooms it feeds. We clean the runs so it isn’t blown back in.
Hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, there’s no quiet time. The work is sequenced with staff so care carries on.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so it’s all in one place. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Crouch and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Crouch: your questions answered
Can you come to Crouch after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Crouch needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you clean school ventilation in Crouch during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Crouch. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
Inspection should decide it, in line with TR19® Air. Busy or sensitive buildings may need it more often.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
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.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Where they can be removed, they’re taken down, cleaned and refitted. The rest are cleaned where they are.
Nearby places to Crouch
What else we do in Crouch
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Wherever a school like Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time. If you manage shops or offices close to Selling station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.
