What happens if it’s left?
Facilities teams are regularly asked to show evidence of ventilation hygiene. Having a recent certificate and photo report for a building in Culmers answers the question. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Culmers is calmer for everyone.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Culmers
Beyond the kitchen, TR19® Air covers the ordinary supply and extract systems that serve offices, schools and other buildings. It’s risk-based and inspection-led, so we look before we clean. If you have duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning, we can help.
Work in a small place like Culmers starts with agreeing access and timings.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric

Where we work
- Toilet extract systems
- General extract ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers
- Supply ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
- Offices and schools
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building, and we clear up before we go. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Culmers.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
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.

Common problems we fix in Culmers
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
What we are most often called out for:
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (about 5.5 miles north-east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- When the next visit should be, and why
Different parts, different methods
Supply ductwork
We check supply ducts at intervals along each run to see where cleaning is needed.
Hospitals and care homes
Hospitals and care homes are occupied day and night. We plan the order of work with the site team to keep disruption down.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
