About our ventilation duct cleaning in Luddesdown
A dusty duct in a building in Luddesdown is more than an eyesore. It can restrict airflow, make the system work harder and send dust back into occupied rooms. Cleaning restores the clear airway the system was designed with. The work covers supply ductwork, hospitals and care homes and offices and schools, and people most often call us about dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers and extract ducts clogged with lint and dust.
Somewhere as small as Luddesdown, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Common questions in Luddesdown
Can the work in Luddesdown be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Luddesdown does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Luddesdown?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Luddesdown included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes. Grilles and diffusers are cleaned as part of the job, so the room side is clean too.
What does TR19 Air cover?
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that covers general supply and extract ventilation, rather than kitchen extract. It’s risk-based and led by inspection, and kitchen extract falls under TR19® Grease.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Keep filters changed on time
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so it’s all in one place. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Visits to a village like Luddesdown are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Get a fixed quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Related advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Why it’s worth doing now in Luddesdown
Landlords, tenants and auditors may want proof the ventilation is looked after. Having a recent certificate and photo report for a building in Luddesdown answers the question. In a place like Luddesdown, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

What the work involves, part by part
Supply ductwork
Supply ductwork delivers conditioned air to each room. Fine dust that gets past the filters settles along the runs, and we remove it through access panels.
Grilles and diffusers
Dust marks around grilles can point to dirt further back in the system. The grilles are cleaned and the ducts behind inspected.
