Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Dungate
We get into the ducts through access panels at intervals along the system. If some sections can’t be reached, the report says so, and we can fit new panels for the next clean. The work covers grilles and diffusers, supply ductwork and hospitals and care homes, and people most often call us about dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning.
Somewhere as small as Dungate, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. The timing of a visit to Dungate is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
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 is where we come in.
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, next to our reports.
Why deal with it now?
Landlords, tenants and auditors may want proof the ventilation is looked after. A TR19® certificate and photo report from a recent clean give them that. It’s simpler to plan the work at Dungate now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of sites or systems
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Questions from Dungate
Can you come to Dungate after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Dungate can fit around your hours. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you clean school ventilation in Dungate during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Dungate, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
There’s no single interval; under TR19® Air, inspection decides. We suggest a next inspection date after each visit.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Do you work in Dungate?
Yes. We cover Dungate and across Kent, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.

Wherever a school like Milstead and Frinsted Church of England Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time. In Dungate, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.

Different parts, different methods
Offices and retail
Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. Cleaning before the new occupants move in makes sense.
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers that are designed to come out are removed for cleaning, then refitted.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Keep filters changed on time
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.
