Ventilation duct cleaning for sites in Selsted

Why deal with it now?

Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which takes strain off the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. Planning a trip to Selsted ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

Ventilation duct cleaning in Selsted, done properly

Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, so you have it all on record. The work covers hospitals and care homes, general extract ductwork and toilet extract systems, and the jobs we see most are odours carried round the building by the ducts and stuffy rooms and stale air.

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. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do

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, alongside our reports.

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.

How the visit works

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. The visit itself takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Selsted.

  1. First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
  2. Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
  3. The work area is protected and the system switched off.
  4. We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
  5. We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.

How to prepare

  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
  • Find the previous report, if there is one

For landlords and multi-site operators

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.

Selsted questions

Will you come out to Selsted?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Selsted is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Do you work at weekends in Selsted?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Selsted keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.

Who has the legal duty for fire safety?

The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.

Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?

Yes. You get a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.

How the job changes from site to site

Grilles and diffusers

Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. We clean the grilles and look at what’s behind them.

Schools and colleges

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

Common problems we fix in Selsted

Even good filters let some dust through, so fine dust settles in supply ductwork over the years. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • Damp or stale smells from grilles
  • Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
  • Systems missing access panels
  • Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years

Healthcare buildings such as Royal Victoria Hospital, about 5 miles south, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Selsted, yours matters too.

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Between visits

Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:

  • Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
  • Flag any dust coming out of the vents
  • Include grilles in the cleaning rota
  • Protect the system from construction dust

The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, based on what we found. Put it in the diary now so it does not slip.

Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
