Ventilation duct cleaning in South Stour
We cover South Stour and the rest of Kent for ventilation duct cleaning, from offices and schools to hospitals, care homes and shops. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. Common call-outs are for dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms and supply ducts with years of dust inside, on general extract ductwork, toilet extract systems and hospitals and care homes.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Part by part
Extract ductwork
Washroom extracts handle damp air, so the dust tends to cling. They’re cleaned and their condition recorded.
Supply ductwork
Supply ducts carry air from the AHU into the rooms. Fine dust that gets past the filters settles along the runs, and we remove it through access panels.
What happens if it’s left?
Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Skipping it leaves you guessing. Somewhere as small as South Stour, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Log every filter change
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so it’s all in one place. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
When to call us in South Stour
Many systems run for long hours, day after day, and every hour moves more dust through the ducts. The busier the building, the faster it builds up.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Blocked general extract ductwork
Healthcare buildings such as William Harvey Hospital, about 2.4 miles north, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near South Stour, yours matters too.

What else we do in South Stour
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Visits to a village like South Stour are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
