About our ventilation duct cleaning in Styants Bottom

We cover Styants Bottom 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. Typical jobs include ductwork with too few access panels to clean and extract ducts clogged with lint and dust, on grilles and diffusers, hospitals and care homes and supply ductwork.

In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.

It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

How the visit works

We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Styants Bottom and turn up when the site is quiet.

  1. We survey the system from drawings, pictures or a site visit.
  2. Inspection comes next, with photos of the inside of the ducts.
  3. The area below is protected and the system switched off.
  4. Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
  5. We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Styants Bottom questions

Can you work in Styants Bottom outside opening hours?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Do you cover Styants Bottom for ventilation duct cleaning?

Yes, we work in Styants Bottom and the places around it. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details of the site.

What is TR19?

A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

Do you survey the system first?

Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from pictures, drawings or a site visit, and then quote a fixed price.

Are you fully insured?

Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.

What happens if parts of the ductwork cannot be reached?

Accessible sections are cleaned and the others recorded. Fitting access panels tends to be the answer, and we can quote for them.

Who is the responsible person?

It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.

What we’re called out for in Styants Bottom

Ventilation hygiene often gets left out of planned maintenance. Plant can be well serviced while the ductwork goes untouched for years.

Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
  • Stuffy rooms and stale air
  • Odours carried round the building by the ducts
  • Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff

Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Sevenoaks Hospital (about 2.8 miles west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What insurance they carry
  • Exactly which parts of the system are covered
  • Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
  • How areas they cannot reach will be recorded

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

Looking after it afterwards

To keep the system working properly between visits:

  • Protect the system from construction dust
  • Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
  • Stick to the filter change schedule
  • Report dust blowing from grilles straight away

A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.

Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.

What the work involves, part by part

Schools and colleges

Schools and colleges are easiest to clean during the holidays, when classrooms are empty.
