Ventilation duct cleaning in New Hythe
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 have ventilation full of debris from building work and toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff, we can put it right, from general extract ductwork, supply ductwork and grilles and diffusers onwards.
Somewhere as small as New Hythe, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Questions from New Hythe
Do you cover smaller places like New Hythe?
Yes. New Hythe is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can a school’s ventilation in New Hythe be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around New Hythe, the Food Standards Agency lists about 11 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will fit the work in.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in New Hythe?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Can you clean ventilation out of hours?
Yes, whenever daytime working isn’t practical. We agree a window when the ventilation can go off.
Do you inspect before cleaning?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from pictures, drawings or a site visit, then we give you a fixed quote.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
TR19® Air deals with general ventilation, while TR19® Grease deals with kitchen extract. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Keep filters changed on time
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like New Hythe.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Related advice
Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in New Hythe?
Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Condensation and leaks turn loose dust into a stubborn layer, which is harder to shift later.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Systems missing access panels
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
Workplaces around New Hythe station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.

- Hospitals and care homes
- Offices and schools
- General extract ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers
- Supply ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
Part by part
Offices and retail
Shared systems in multi-let buildings need access to several areas. We plan access with the managing agent.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in New Hythe
After building work, cleaning the ventilation before people move back in makes sense. Otherwise construction dust left in the ducts is blown out once the system runs. Somewhere as small as New Hythe, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
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 play a part.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
