- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Park Wood when you book.
- 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.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- A certificate and before and after pictures follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

About our ventilation duct cleaning in Park Wood
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. The work covers hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and supply ductwork, and the jobs we see most are systems missing access panels and ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection.
Around a place like Park Wood, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Park Wood
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Park Wood in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Park Wood, the Food Standards Agency lists about 8 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you get to a site in Park Wood?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Park Wood included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes. Grilles and diffusers are cleaned as part of the job, so dust isn’t left at the outlets.
Why act early in Park Wood
An inspection-led approach avoids cleaning ducts that do not need it. Skipping it leaves you guessing. When a site near Park Wood shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.

- Offices and schools

What we are called out for in Park Wood
Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Park Wood, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Medway Maritime Hospital (about 3.4 miles north-west).
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Proof of insurance
- What hours they’ll be on site

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Diary it straight away so it does not slip.
Protect the system during building work by switching it off or covering the grilles.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Park Wood
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, 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, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
