- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.

About our ventilation duct cleaning in Kennington
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Kennington and right across Kent, from offices and schools to hospitals, care homes and shops. Every job begins with a survey and a fixed quote. Typical jobs include odours carried round the building by the ducts and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning, across hospitals and care homes, grilles and diffusers and toilet extract systems.
Smaller buildings around Kennington often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, out of sight and easy to overlook. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why deal with it now?
Landlords, tenants and auditors may want proof the ventilation is looked after. A TR19® certificate and photo report from a recent clean give them that. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
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 any work starts.

Part by part
Offices and retail
Shared systems in multi-let buildings need access to several areas. We plan access with the managing agent.
Grilles and diffusers
Every duct ends at a grille or diffuser in the room. We clean them as part of the job, so dust on them isn’t blown back in.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Kennington
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Kennington and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Kennington: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Kennington?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Kennington included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can a school’s ventilation in Kennington be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 9 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Kennington. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What does TR19 Air cover?
TR19® Air applies to the general ventilation in buildings like offices, schools and hospitals. Kitchen extract systems fall under TR19® Grease instead.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When to call us in Kennington
In a building in Kennington, the ventilation may run for long hours every day, and every hour of running brings more dust with it. Heavier use means faster build-up.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
Hospitals such as William Harvey Hospital (about 2.1 miles south-east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Kennington are no different.
Before you book anyone
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether they recommend a next date
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the figure could change on the day
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
- A system that is not designed to move enough air
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
