Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Pollhill
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Clean ducts are part of a healthy building, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. The work covers grilles and diffusers, supply ductwork and general extract ductwork, and people most often call us about dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers and ductwork never cleaned since it was installed.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Pollhill
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Pollhill buildings and their air
KIMS hospital is the nearest hospital, about 5.7 miles north-west of Pollhill. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale. We cover Pollhill, about 37 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
For schools like Harrietsham Church of England Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation. Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like KIMS hospital (about 5.7 miles north-west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts. For workplaces around Harrietsham station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Pollhill
Do you cover smaller places like Pollhill?
Yes. Pollhill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work overnight in Pollhill?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Pollhill needn’t be disturbed. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
Typically, the work takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Large buildings can be phased, often out of hours, to fit around the building.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What is TR19® Air?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Pollhill and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work

Advice
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Watch for water stains around grilles
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, backed up by before and after photos. If access panels are needed, we will say where.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
