Ventilation duct cleaning in Heaverham
We get into the ducts through access panels at intervals along the system. If some sections cannot be reached, the report says so, and new access panels can be installed for the next clean. If you have dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers and ductwork with too few access panels to clean, we can put it right, from grilles and diffusers, toilet extract systems and hospitals and care homes onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why deal with it now?
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 each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Heaverham and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We survey the system from drawings, pictures or a site visit.
- Inspection comes next, with pictures of the inside of the ducts.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Log every filter change
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, based on what we found. Diary it right away so it isn’t missed.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.

Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. They collect dust, lint and fibres and restrict the flow over time.
Heaverham: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Heaverham?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Heaverham keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can a school’s ventilation in Heaverham be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Heaverham, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Where they can be removed, they’re taken down, cleaned and refitted. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
Under TR19® Air, the answer comes from inspecting the ducts. Heavily used buildings, or those with vulnerable occupants, may need attention more often.
What we’re called out for in Heaverham
Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Condensation and leaks turn loose dust into a stubborn layer, which is harder to shift later.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
If you manage shops or offices close to Kemsing station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.
Questions to ask before booking
