Part by part
Supply ductwork
We check supply ducts at intervals along each run to see where cleaning is needed.
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers are where the ducts meet the room. We clean them as part of the job, so dust on them isn’t blown back in.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Martin Mill
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Martin Mill and right across Kent, from offices and schools to hospitals, care homes and shops. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. If you are dealing with rooms that feel airless when the system runs and supply ducts with years of dust inside, we can put it right, from toilet extract systems, supply ductwork and hospitals and care homes onwards.
Work in a small place like Martin Mill starts with agreeing access and timings.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Leave it or put it right?
Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which puts less load on the fans. Leaving them means the plant works harder for the same result. In a place like Martin Mill, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Martin Mill, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Inspection comes next, with photos of the inside of the ducts.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
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.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as moisture makes dust stick.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
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’s our job.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Common questions in Martin Mill
Can you get to a site in Martin Mill?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Martin Mill included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is ventilation duct cleaning available in Martin Mill?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Martin Mill included. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day of the survey details.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
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.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
Work on site takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. We’ll know more after the survey, and you can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line to arrange it.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
