About our ventilation duct cleaning in Tankerton
Beyond the kitchen, TR19® Air covers the ordinary supply and extract systems that serve offices, schools and other buildings. It’s risk-based and inspection-led, so every job starts with a look inside the ducts. The work covers supply ductwork, grilles and diffusers and hospitals and care homes, and people most often call us about dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years and rooms that feel airless when the system runs.
In a smaller place like Tankerton, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Common problems we fix in Tankerton
Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Condensation and leaks turn loose dust into a stubborn layer, and it becomes harder to remove.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
If you manage a school such as St Mary's Catholic Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they recommend a next date
Ventilation duct cleaning around Tankerton

Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. The nearest hospital to Tankerton is Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital, about within half a mile south-east. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale. Tankerton is about 50 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Workplaces around Whitstable station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.

Questions from Tankerton
Do you work at weekends in Tankerton?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you clean school ventilation in Tankerton in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 12 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Tankerton, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Do you work in Tankerton?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Tankerton.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. We plan the journey to Tankerton and bring what the job is likely to need.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before photos are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning won’t do:
- Building management settings that run the plant
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in Tankerton
- Hospitals and care homes
- General extract ductwork
- Supply ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers
- Offices and schools
- Toilet extract systems
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
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 play a part.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Why deal with it now?
Landlords, tenants and auditors may want proof the ventilation is looked after. A TR19® certificate and photo report from a recent clean give them that. In a smaller place like Tankerton, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
