Why deal with it now?
A clean system moves air more easily, which takes strain off the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. In a smaller place like St Lawrence, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in St Lawrence
We always start by inspecting. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, then recommend cleaning where it’s needed. That keeps the work in proportion to the risk. We are often asked to deal with dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers and odours carried round the building by the ducts, across offices and schools, supply ductwork and grilles and diffusers.
Around a place like St Lawrence, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Common questions in St Lawrence
Can you come to St Lawrence after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in St Lawrence can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to St Lawrence?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, St Lawrence included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes. TR19® Air is inspection-led, so we look inside the ducts at set points, with pictures of the inside. We recommend cleaning where the inspection shows it’s due.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we will survey first.
What is TR19® Air?
TR19® Air applies to the general ventilation in buildings like offices, schools and hospitals. Kitchen extract is covered separately, by TR19® Grease.
Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in St Lawrence
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, especially when the system runs during the work. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
If you run an office near Ramsgate station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside.

Part by part
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.
Hospitals and care homes
In care settings, keeping dust contained is a priority. The area is protected, and debris contained and removed.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like St Lawrence.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The scale of the work
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
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.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
