Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Norton Ash
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. We are often asked to deal with grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt and ductwork with too few access panels to clean, across general extract ductwork, grilles and diffusers and toilet extract systems.
Work in a small place like Norton Ash starts with agreeing access and timings.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Norton Ash
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Keep filters changed on time
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, based on what we found. Diary it right away so it isn’t missed.
Protect the system during building work by switching it off or covering the grilles.
Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Norton Ash?
Ductwork is hidden above ceilings and in risers, so nobody sees the build-up. Grilles may be wiped, but the ducts behind them rarely are.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
For schools like Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

Norton Ash: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Norton Ash?
Yes. Norton Ash is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can ventilation in schools around Norton Ash be cleaned out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Norton Ash, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
There’s no single interval; under TR19® Air, inspection decides. We suggest a next inspection date after every visit.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Norton Ash.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

How to get a quote

Advice
Different parts, different methods
Offices and retail
Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. Cleaning before the new occupants move in makes sense.
Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. A clean duct takes the load off.
