Ventilation duct cleaning in Roughway, done properly

Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Roughway and right across Kent, from offices and schools to hospitals, care homes and shops. Every job begins with a survey and a fixed quote. The work covers offices and schools, toilet extract systems and general extract ductwork, and people most often call us about stuffy rooms and stale air and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected.

Work in a small place like Roughway starts with agreeing access and timings.

For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What we do, step by step

There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Roughway run smoothly.

  1. First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
  2. We open the ductwork through its access panels.
  3. We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
  4. We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
  5. We take after photos and send the certificate and report.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us where we can park and unload
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Ask for a quote

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

Why act early in Roughway

An inspection-led approach avoids cleaning ducts that do not need it. Putting the inspection off just means you don’t know where you stand. In a small place like Roughway, a system that fails can take a site out of use.

Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Roughway: your questions answered

Is Roughway within the area you cover?

Yes, Roughway is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Can you clean school ventilation in Roughway during the holidays?

Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Roughway, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.

How much notice do you need?

The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.

What accreditations do you have?

We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How do you protect the area?

Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

Is a quote from pictures possible?

Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.

Can you clean ventilation out of hours?

Yes, where the building needs it. Tell us when the system can be switched off and we’ll plan to that.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning

Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:

  • The condition of the system
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • How easy every part is to reach

We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

What we need to know

To help us quote quickly, send us:

  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What the work involves, part by part

Schools and colleges

Busy classrooms send a lot of dust and fibre into extract ducts. Regular inspection keeps on top of it.

Grilles and diffusers

Dust marks around grilles can point to dirt further back in the system. We clean the grilles and look at what’s behind them.

What staff can safely do

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Honest limits

We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:

  • Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
  • Design problems with the ductwork layout
  • Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
