Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ramsgate
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Dust and debris build up in both, and some of it is blown back into the building. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. The work covers general extract ductwork, offices and schools and hospitals and care homes, and people most often call us about systems missing access panels and musty smells from the ventilation.
In Ramsgate, ventilation in schools and offices is cleaned when the building is quiet: evenings, weekends or school holidays.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Ramsgate
Can you clean school ventilation in Ramsgate during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 30 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Ramsgate, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Can you come to Ramsgate after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Ramsgate keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in Ramsgate?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Let us know how to reach the roof or plant area at your site in Ramsgate, and where the van can go.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What the work involves, part by part
Supply ductwork
Supply ducts carry air from the AHU into the rooms. Fine dust that gets past the filters settles along the runs, and it’s cleaned out through access panels.
Extract ductwork
Toilet and washroom extract can carry moisture as well as dust, which makes dirt stick. We clean them and note any damp or corrosion.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Protect the system during building work by switching it off or covering the grilles.
Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Ramsgate?
Ventilation hygiene often gets left out of planned maintenance. Plant can be well serviced while the ductwork goes untouched for years.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Priory Infant School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
What your quote should include
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Building management settings that run the plant
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
