Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Watch for water stains around grilles
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so it’s all in one place. Over time, it shows how quickly the system gets dirty.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Highsted
A dusty duct in a building in Highsted is more than an eyesore. It slows the air, strains the fans and can be blown back out of the grilles. A clean puts the system back as it should be. Typical jobs include dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years and stuffy rooms and stale air, on offices and schools, hospitals and care homes and toilet extract systems.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Highsted run smoothly.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Common questions in Highsted
Do you work overnight in Highsted?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can a school’s ventilation in Highsted be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 15 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Highsted. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
What happens if parts of the ductwork cannot be reached?
Those sections are recorded as not cleaned in the report, so it’s clear what’s outstanding. We can fit new access panels so the whole system can be cleaned.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes, along with the ducts behind them. You’ll see them in the before and after pictures.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
Typically, the work takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Bigger sites are split into stages, and we will confirm the plan when we quote.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on in Highsted

Leave it or put it right?
If a building in Highsted has just been refitted, now is the time to clean the ductwork. Otherwise the dust from the works comes out of the grilles once it’s switched back on. A fault that closes a site in a village like Highsted affects everyone who depends on it.
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 we start.

Ventilation in Highsted buildings
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 15 schools, colleges and universities and about 16 care, childcare and hospital premises with registered kitchens or food service in Highsted and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. Highsted, about 38 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
In Highsted, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning. If you manage a school such as Rodmersham School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
