Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ridley
We cover Ridley and the rest of Kent for ventilation duct cleaning, from offices and schools to hospitals, care homes and shops. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. Typical jobs include systems missing access panels and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected, across hospitals and care homes, grilles and diffusers 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, which makes them easy to overlook.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. The timing of a visit to Ridley is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ridley
If a building in Ridley has just been refitted, now is the time to clean the ductwork. Otherwise construction dust left in the ducts is blown out once the system runs. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
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, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Log every filter change
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
- Protect the system from construction dust
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, with photos before and after. We’ll suggest where new access panels would help.
Keep filters changed on time. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
Part by part
Offices and retail
Multi-let buildings may share ductwork between tenants. Access is agreed with the building manager.
Hospitals and care homes
Hospitals and care homes are occupied day and night. The work is sequenced with staff so care carries on.
Common problems we fix in Ridley
Even good filters let some dust through, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.
Look out for any of the following:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Meopham School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Ridley
Can you clean school ventilation in Ridley during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Ridley. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can you come to Ridley after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Ridley doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you cover Ridley?
Yes. Ridley is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
When should our ventilation next be cleaned?
TR19® Air is risk-based, so cleaning follows inspection rather than a fixed calendar. Each report recommends when the system should next be inspected.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
