Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Romney Street
Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Over time, both collect dust and debris, and some of it is blown back into the building. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. The work covers general extract ductwork, supply ductwork and offices and schools, and people most often call us about construction dust left in ducts after a refit and grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt.
For a building in or near Romney Street, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
The sign-off is always in writing: 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.

What the work involves, part by part
Grilles and diffusers
Where they come out, grilles are taken down and cleaned, then put back.
Supply ductwork
We check supply ducts at intervals along each run before deciding what to clean.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
Before any works, think about the ducts. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Romney Street
Moisture in ducts makes dust stick. Condensation and leaks turn loose dust into a stubborn layer, and it becomes harder to remove.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
Healthcare buildings such as Sevenoaks Hospital, about 3.3 miles south-west, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Romney Street, yours matters too.

What affects the quote in Romney Street
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Common questions in Romney Street
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Romney Street in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Romney Street. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you come to Romney Street after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Romney Street can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes, along with the ducts behind them. You’ll see them in the before and after photos.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.

What else we do in Romney Street
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not 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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
