Ventilation duct cleaning in Smeeth, done properly
Inspection comes first. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That keeps the work in proportion to the risk. The work covers offices and schools, supply ductwork and grilles and diffusers, and the jobs we see most are musty smells from the ventilation and poor airflow from the vents.
Somewhere as small as Smeeth, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Smeeth
Ventilation hygiene often gets left out of planned maintenance. A building in Smeeth can have well-serviced plant and dirty ductwork at the same time.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Systems missing access panels
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Smeeth, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like William Harvey Hospital (about 2.6 miles north-west).
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the price is fixed
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Smeeth, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Smeeth questions
Do you work at weekends in Smeeth?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you cover Smeeth for ventilation duct cleaning?
Yes, Smeeth is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Get in touch with the details and we will arrange a survey.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
How do you deal with ducts you can’t get into?
We clean what we can reach and note the rest. Extra access panels can solve it, and we can fit them.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. The rest are cleaned where they are.

How the job changes from site to site
Hospitals and care homes
People in hospitals and care homes can be more vulnerable to poor air. Inspecting and cleaning to TR19® Air supports good air quality.
Schools and colleges
Holidays and weekends are the natural time to clean school ventilation, with nobody in the classrooms.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Do not let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t 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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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, and that’s where we come in.
