For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Radfield, done properly
In a building in Radfield, the people inside spend hours breathing what the ventilation delivers. Keeping the ducts clean is a sensible part of looking after them, as much as clean filters and a well-kept AHU. Common call-outs are for dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years and ducts that need a clean before handover, on general extract ductwork, toilet extract systems and offices and schools.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Radfield?
Moisture in ducts makes dust stick. Condensation and leaks turn loose dust into a stubborn layer, which is harder to shift later.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
If you manage shops or offices close to Teynham station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.
What to look for in a quote
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Radfield can be planned properly.
- We survey the system from drawings, photos or a site visit.
- Inspection comes next, with pictures of the inside of the ducts.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- A certificate and before and after pictures follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Radfield
Can ventilation in schools around Radfield be cleaned out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Radfield. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Is Radfield within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Radfield included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
TR19® Air deals with general ventilation, while TR19® Grease deals with kitchen extract. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
Under TR19® Air, the answer comes from inspecting the ducts. Heavily used buildings, or those with vulnerable occupants, may need attention more often.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them 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.
How do you deal with ducts you can’t get into?
We list any unreached sections on the report, with the reason. New access panels can be installed so they’re covered next time.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Leave dust in the ductwork and it keeps building. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and the more gets blown back into the rooms. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Radfield rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by ventilation duct cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

How the job changes from site to site
Supply ductwork
Anything in a supply duct can end up in the rooms it feeds. We clean the runs so it is not blown back in.
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers are where the ducts meet the room. They’re cleaned along with the ductwork, so dust on them is not blown back in.
