Ventilation duct cleaning in South Street

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Ventilation duct cleaning in South Street, done properly

We cover South Street and the rest of Kent for ventilation duct cleaning, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Every job begins with a survey and a fixed quote. If you are dealing with grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt and blocked general extract ductwork, we can put it right.

Work in a small place like South Street starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.

It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

  • Building management settings that run the plant
  • Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean

Why act early in South Street

If a building in South Street has just been refitted, now is the time to clean the ductwork. Otherwise the dust from the works comes out of the grilles once it’s switched back on. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Why book with us

  • Fully insured

How the job changes from site to site

Offices and retail

Offices and shops tend to need the work done outside opening hours to keep the space open.

Extract ductwork

Washroom extracts handle damp air, so the dust tends to cling. They’re cleaned and their condition recorded.

What we do, step by step

Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to South Street can be planned properly.

  1. We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
  2. We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
  3. The area below is protected and the system switched off.
  4. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
  5. You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.

How to prepare

  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Let us know about parking and loading

Multi-site and managed buildings

We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

What we are called out for in South Street

In a building in South Street, the ventilation may run for long hours every day, and every hour of running brings more dust with it. Heavier use means faster build-up.

If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:

  • Blocked general extract ductwork
  • Musty smells from the ventilation
  • Poor airflow from the vents
  • Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt

Workplaces around Selling station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.
