About our ventilation duct cleaning in Gadshill
Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Over time, both collect dust and debris, and some of it is blown back into the building. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. If you are dealing with ductwork never cleaned since it was installed and ventilation full of debris from building work, we can help, from grilles and diffusers, general extract ductwork and hospitals and care homes onwards.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What we are called out for in Gadshill
Ductwork is hidden above ceilings and in risers, so nobody sees the build-up. The grilles get a wipe, but what’s behind them does not.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
Wherever a school like Strood Academy has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. For a village or hamlet like Gadshill, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Gadshill
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Gadshill and across Medway. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Grilles and diffusers
- Hospitals and care homes
- Offices and schools
- General extract ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
- Supply ductwork
Why it’s worth doing now in Gadshill
An inspection-led approach avoids cleaning ducts that don’t need it. Putting the inspection off just means you don’t know where you stand. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Diary it right away so it isn’t missed.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
