Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Fenn Street

We get into the ducts through access panels along each run. If some sections cannot be reached, the report says so, and we can fit new panels so they’re covered next time. The work covers general extract ductwork, supply ductwork and grilles and diffusers, and the jobs we see most are ventilation full of debris from building work and extract ducts clogged with lint and dust.

Somewhere as small as Fenn Street, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.

Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits

Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:

  • Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
  • Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
  • Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
  • Protect the system from construction dust

If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.

TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.

What we are called out for in Fenn Street

Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, especially when the system runs during the work. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.

What we are most often called out for:

  • Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
  • Damp or stale smells from grilles
  • Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
  • Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt

Wherever a school like High Halstow Primary Academy has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.

How it works

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Fenn Street and turn up when the site is quiet.

  1. We look at the system and any earlier reports.
  2. We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
  3. The work area is protected and the system switched off.
  4. We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
  5. We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

For landlords and multi-site operators

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Fenn Street and across Medway. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

When it’s something else

Ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:

  • Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
  • Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
  • Design problems with the ductwork layout

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Offices and schools
  • General extract ductwork
  • Toilet extract systems
  • Supply ductwork
  • Hospitals and care homes
  • Grilles and diffusers

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

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 do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

Fenn Street questions

Will you come out to Fenn Street?

Yes, Fenn Street is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Is ventilation duct cleaning available in Fenn Street?

Yes, Fenn Street is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Get in touch with the details and we’ll arrange a survey.

What happens to the waste?

It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.

How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?

TR19® Air is risk-based, so cleaning follows inspection rather than a fixed calendar. Each report recommends when the system should next be inspected.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.

What do you do to protect the area?

We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
