Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Smith's Green
Dust in ventilation ductwork is not only a cleanliness issue. It can restrict airflow, make the system work harder and send dust back into occupied rooms. Cleaning restores the clear airway the system was designed with. The work covers hospitals and care homes, offices and schools and supply ductwork, and the jobs we see most are poor airflow from the vents and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected.
For a building in or near Smith's Green, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Smith's Green: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Smith's Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Smith's Green is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can the work in Smith's Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Smith's Green keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
It depends on the building, how the system is used and what inspection finds. Regular inspection tells you when it’s due.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
What happens if parts of the ductwork can’t 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.
How much time does a ventilation clean need?
Expect it to take a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. How much ductwork there is and how easily it’s reached decide the rest.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Do you inspect before cleaning?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from photos, drawings or a site visit, and then quote a fixed price.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Smith's Green and across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- File each ventilation report with the building records
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
