Medway · Ventilation duct cleaning
Ventilation duct cleaning in North Street, Medway
Ventilation duct cleaning for commercial sites in North Street and across Medway. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Log every filter change
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 doesn’t slip.
Do not let construction dust into the ventilation by switching it off or covering the grilles.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in North Street
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Keeping the ducts clean is a sensible part of looking after them, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. The work covers toilet extract systems, supply ductwork and grilles and diffusers, and people most often call us about damp or stale smells from grilles and poor airflow from the vents.
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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Common questions in North Street
Can the work in North Street be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in North Street keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is North Street within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
When should our ventilation next be cleaned?
TR19® Air is risk-based, so cleaning follows inspection rather than a fixed calendar. We suggest a next inspection date after each visit.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
What if there aren’t enough access panels?
Accessible sections are cleaned and the others recorded. Extra access panels can solve it, and we can quote for them.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

What the work involves, part by part
Offices and retail
Multi-let buildings may share ductwork between tenants. We plan access with the managing agent.
Hospitals and care homes
Hospitals and care homes are occupied day and night. We plan the order of work with the site team so care carries on.
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning won’t do:
- A system that is not designed to move enough air
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on in North Street
- Grilles and diffusers
- Supply ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
- Hospitals and care homes
- Offices and schools
- General extract ductwork
How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to North Street run smoothly.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not 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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Managing agents and facilities teams in North Street
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
