- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. In a small place like Lower Upnor, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

About our ventilation duct cleaning in Lower Upnor
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Lower Upnor and right across Medway, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Every job begins with a survey and a fixed quote. Common call-outs are for dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms and toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff, across grilles and diffusers, supply ductwork and general extract ductwork.
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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Medway. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Lower Upnor: your questions answered
Do you clean school ventilation in Lower Upnor in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 11 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Lower Upnor, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you work in Lower Upnor outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Lower Upnor needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, based on what we found. Put it in the diary now so it doesn’t slip.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Leave it or put it right?
Facilities teams are regularly asked to show evidence of ventilation hygiene. Having a recent certificate and photo report for a building in Lower Upnor answers the question. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Lower Upnor is calmer for everyone.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why book with us
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Full insurance on every job

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

When it’s something else

- A system that is not designed to move enough air
- Building management settings that run the plant
