About our ventilation duct cleaning in Lenham Forstal
A dusty duct in a building in Lenham Forstal 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. The work covers hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and grilles and diffusers, and the jobs we see most are ductwork with too few access panels to clean and odours carried round the building by the ducts.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the job changes from site to site
Supply ductwork
Dust in supply ducts can be blown straight into occupied rooms. Cleaning it deals with the source.
Hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, there’s no quiet time. We plan the order of work with the site team so care carries on.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by ventilation duct cleaning, and we will tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
- Leaking or broken duct sections
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we’re called out for in Lenham Forstal
Many systems run for long hours, day after day, and every hour of running brings more dust with it. The busier the building, the faster it builds up.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Blocked general extract ductwork
An inspection comes first for any ventilation job around Lenham Forstal, so the cleaning matches what’s there.
What your quote should include

Lenham Forstal questions
Do you work in villages like Lenham Forstal?
Yes, Lenham Forstal is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work overnight in Lenham Forstal?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Lenham Forstal does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes. You get a certificate with the date, location and technician, plus a photo report.
When should our ventilation next be cleaned?
It depends on the building, how the system is used and what inspection finds. Inspecting regularly shows when cleaning is needed.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. 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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- A certificate and before and after pictures follow, with anything not reached recorded.

Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Keep filters changed on time
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Put it in the diary now so it does not slip.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
