How we price ventilation duct cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Herne
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. We’re often asked to deal with musty smells from the ventilation and dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers, on toilet extract systems, hospitals and care homes and grilles and diffusers.
In a place like Herne, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, where they’re easy to forget. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How the job changes from site to site
Hospitals and care homes
Hospitals and care homes are occupied day and night. We plan the order of work with the site team to keep disruption down.
Supply ductwork
Supply ductwork delivers conditioned air to each room. Dust that slips past the filters builds up inside, and we remove it through access panels.
What we’re called out for in Herne
Planned maintenance tends to focus on fans and filters, not the ducts. Plant can be well serviced while the ductwork goes untouched for years.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
Wherever a school like Herne Church of England Infant School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. In a smaller place like Herne, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Herne and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
FAQs for Herne
Do you cover smaller places like Herne?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Herne is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come to Herne after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Herne can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes, both a certificate and a photo report. It also notes unreached sections and a recommended next inspection.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in Herne?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
TR19® Air is risk-based, so cleaning follows inspection rather than a fixed calendar. We suggest a next inspection date after every visit.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes, on every job. The survey shows the layout, the access and the condition, so the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
When it’s something else
Ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Leaking or broken duct sections
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
