Medway · Ventilation duct cleaning
Ventilation duct cleaning in Lordswood, Medway
One call covers ventilation duct cleaning in Lordswood, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Lordswood
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Dust and debris build up in both, some of which ends up back in the rooms. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. If you are dealing with ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and stuffy rooms and stale air, we can put it right, from toilet extract systems, supply ductwork and grilles and diffusers onwards.
In a smaller place like Lordswood, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Watch for water stains around grilles
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so the history stays together. Over time, it shows how quickly the system gets dirty.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the ventilation duct cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. For a site near Lordswood, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.

What we are called out for in Lordswood
Filters never catch everything, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Systems missing access panels
Classrooms and halls at schools such as St Benedict's Catholic Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Managing agents and facilities teams in Lordswood
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.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What happens if it’s left?
Leave dust in the ductwork and it keeps building. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and the more gets blown back into the rooms. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
