Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Penshurst and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Penshurst
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. The work covers toilet extract systems, general extract ductwork and hospitals and care homes, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning.
Work in a small place like Penshurst starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Penshurst questions
Is Penshurst in your area for ventilation duct cleaning?
Yes, Penshurst is covered. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few photos of the system.
Do you work overnight in Penshurst?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Penshurst doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
That varies with the building, the filters and how hard the system works. Regular inspection tells you when it’s due.
How do you deal with ducts you cannot get into?
Those sections are recorded as not cleaned in the report, so it’s clear what’s outstanding. New access panels can be installed so the whole system can be cleaned.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, on site or from pictures and drawings, and then quote a fixed price.

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. The timing of a visit to Penshurst is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Advice
Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Penshurst?
It matters for the people inside: dusty ducts can blow debris back into rooms, restrict airflow and make fans work harder. Where people are vulnerable, as in healthcare and care settings, the stakes are higher.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Penshurst Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
Before booking anyone
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What insurance they carry
How the job changes from site to site
Supply ductwork
Supply ductwork delivers conditioned air to each room. Fine dust that gets past the filters settles along the runs, and it’s cleaned out through access panels.
Schools and colleges
We plan the work around the school calendar, with access agreed with the caretaker or site manager.
Why act early in Penshurst
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 Penshurst, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Hospitals and care homes
- Supply ductwork
- General extract ductwork

- Toilet extract systems
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so the history stays together. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Keep filters changed on time. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.
