How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Hamstreet
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Hamstreet and right across Kent, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Every job begins with a survey and a fixed quote. The work covers offices and schools, supply ductwork and grilles and diffusers, and people most often call us about duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning and ducts that need a clean before handover.
Somewhere as small as Hamstreet, 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

When it’s something else
Ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the quote in Hamstreet
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as moisture makes dust stick.

Questions from Hamstreet
Can you work in Hamstreet outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Hamstreet needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you get to a site in Hamstreet?
Yes. Hamstreet is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and photos. The report lists what was cleaned, anything not reached and the next inspection date.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
Inspection should decide it, in line with TR19® Air. Heavily used buildings, or those with vulnerable occupants, may need attention more often.
How the job changes from site to site
Offices and retail
Offices and shops tend to need the work done outside opening hours so staff and customers aren’t disturbed.
Extract ductwork
Toilet and washroom extract can carry moisture as well as dust, which makes dirt stick. They’re cleaned and their condition recorded.
Why act early in Hamstreet
An inspection-led approach avoids cleaning ducts that do not need it. Putting the inspection off just means you don’t know where you stand. Somewhere as small as Hamstreet, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
