How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Falmer
Inspection comes first. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That way the work matches the real condition. If you’re dealing with ductwork never cleaned since it was installed and extract ducts clogged with lint and dust, we can help, from hospitals and care homes, supply ductwork and grilles and diffusers onwards.
Somewhere as small as Falmer, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Falmer?
Moisture in ducts makes dust stick. Where there’s condensation or a leak, dust clings and builds faster, which is harder to shift later.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
Wherever a school like Brighton Aldridge Community Academy has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

Common questions in Falmer
Will you come out to Falmer?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is ventilation duct cleaning available in Falmer?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Falmer included. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day of the survey details.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that covers general supply and extract ventilation, beyond the kitchen. It works on inspection and risk, and kitchen extract falls under TR19® Grease.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Protect the system from construction dust
The report lists the sections we cleaned and any we couldn’t reach, backed up by before and after pictures. We’ll suggest where new access panels would help.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
How the job changes from site to site
Schools and colleges
Classrooms full of people, paper and coats produce plenty of dust. Regular inspection keeps on top of it.
Grilles and diffusers
Where they come out, grilles are taken down and cleaned, then put back.
What else we do in Falmer
Why it’s worth doing now in Falmer
Dust in ducts does not go away on its own. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and more of it finds its way back into the building. Somewhere as small as Falmer, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Visits to a village like Falmer are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- 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.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
