How we price ventilation duct cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
About our ventilation duct cleaning in Lyminge
Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. The work covers supply ductwork, hospitals and care homes and general extract ductwork, and the jobs we see most are blocked general extract ductwork and ducts that need a clean before handover.
In a village or hamlet like Lyminge, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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 is where we come in.
Common problems we fix in Lyminge
Filters never catch everything, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Lyminge, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Royal Victoria Hospital (about 4.7 miles south-east).

Lyminge buildings and their air
At about 57 miles from central London, Lyminge sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Lyminge’s nearest hospital, Royal Victoria Hospital, is about 4.7 miles south-east. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.
For schools like Lyminge Church of England Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Lyminge run smoothly.

Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

FAQs for Lyminge
Do you work overnight in Lyminge?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Lyminge needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you offer ventilation duct cleaning in Lyminge?
Yes, we work in Lyminge and the places around it. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day of the survey details.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
Inspection should decide it, in line with TR19® Air. Heavily used buildings, or those with vulnerable occupants, may need attention more often.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. Where they can be removed, they’re taken down, cleaned and refitted. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by ventilation duct cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
