Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hartley
We always start by inspecting. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, then recommend cleaning where it’s needed. That way the work matches the real condition. Typical jobs include toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff and ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection, on grilles and diffusers, general extract ductwork and offices and schools.
Somewhere as small as Hartley, ducted ventilation is usually 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.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, 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 happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Hartley can be planned properly.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
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We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same.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 pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
What affects the quote in Hartley
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
If you need ventilation duct cleaning in Hartley, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Common problems we fix in Hartley
Even good filters let some dust through, so fine dust settles in supply ductwork over the years. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
Classrooms and halls at schools such as High Weald Academy are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the price is fixed

Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Building management settings that run the plant
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building

For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Questions from Hartley
Can you do ventilation duct cleaning in Hartley?
Yes, Hartley is covered. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day of the survey details.
Can you get to a site in Hartley?
Yes. Hartley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Why act early in Hartley
After building work, cleaning the ventilation before people move back in makes sense. Otherwise construction dust left in the ducts is blown out once the system runs. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
