About our ventilation duct cleaning in Sheldwich Lees
We cover Sheldwich Lees and the rest of Kent for ventilation duct cleaning, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. The work covers hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and offices and schools, and people most often call us about systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and systems missing access panels.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Part by part
Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. Clearing the duct helps the fan do its job.
Grilles and diffusers
Dust marks around grilles can point to dirt further back in the system. The grilles are cleaned and the ducts behind inspected.

FAQs for Sheldwich Lees
Will you come out to Sheldwich Lees?
Yes. Sheldwich Lees is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you offer ventilation duct cleaning in Sheldwich Lees?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Sheldwich Lees included. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Can you clean without closing the building?
Yes. We fit the work around when the building is in use. Holidays suit schools, and evenings or weekends suit offices.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
Typically, the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Large buildings can be phased, often out of hours, to fit around the building.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
What is TR19® Air?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. The rest are cleaned where they are.
What happens if parts of the ductwork cannot be reached?
We clean what we can reach and note the rest. Fitting access panels tends to be the answer, and we can quote for them.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Why deal with it now?
A clean system moves air more easily, which takes strain off the fans. Leaving them means the plant works harder for the same result. Somewhere as small as Sheldwich Lees, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
Before any works, think about the ducts. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Sheldwich Lees
Even good filters let some dust through, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
For schools like Sheldwich Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

What a clean will not put right
Ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
