Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Dargate
Is Dargate in your area for ventilation duct cleaning?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Dargate included. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details of the site.
Do you work at weekends in Dargate?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Dargate keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
As a guide, it takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Bigger sites are split into stages, to fit around the building.
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. None of it is left on site.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Dargate, done properly
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. 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. Typical jobs include construction dust left in ducts after a refit and dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms, across toilet extract systems, general extract ductwork and supply ductwork.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, with pictures before and after. If access panels are needed, we will say where.
Fit access panels where the ductwork cannot be reached. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.

What else we do in Dargate
What the work involves, part by part
Offices and retail
Refits in commercial space often leave construction dust in the ducts. A clean before handover is a sensible step.
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. They collect dust, lint and fibres and slowly narrow.
What we do, step by step
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 are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Dargate, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
- Inspection comes next, with photos of the inside of the ducts.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Dargate and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
