Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Orpington
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 supply ducts with years of dust inside and rooms that feel airless when the system runs, we can put it right, from grilles and diffusers, general extract ductwork and offices and schools onwards.
Many London buildings have had their ventilation extended and altered through several fit-outs, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Orpington.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Hospitals and care homes
Hospitals and care homes are occupied day and night. The work is sequenced with staff so care carries on.
Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. Clearing the duct helps the fan do its job.
What happens on the day
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. From there, it takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. In a London area like Orpington, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- 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.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Protect the system from construction dust
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
Don’t let construction dust into the ventilation by switching it off or covering the grilles.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Grilles and diffusers

For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Ventilation duct cleaning around Orpington
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 3 schools, colleges and universities and about 14 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) serving food across Orpington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. Orpington Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 1.5 miles south of Orpington. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital. Many London buildings have had their ductwork altered through several fit-outs, so an inspection comes first.
Wherever a school like Perry Hall Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time. Workplaces around St Mary Cray station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Orpington, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Orpington Hospital (about 1.5 miles south).
