East Sussex · Ventilation duct cleaning
Filching ventilation duct cleaning
Professional ventilation duct cleaning in and around Filching, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with photos.
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Filching
Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Dust and debris build up in both, and some of it is blown back into the building. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. If you have poor airflow from the vents and toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff, we can help, from general extract ductwork, grilles and diffusers and supply ductwork onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Filching knowing what to expect.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Inspection comes next, with photos of the inside of the ducts.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

How much time does a ventilation clean need?
As a guide, it takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Large buildings can be phased, often out of hours, and we will confirm the plan when we quote.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
What if there are not enough access panels?
Those sections are recorded as not cleaned in the report, with the reason. We can fit new access panels so they’re covered next time.

The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Why act early in Filching
Facilities teams are regularly asked to show evidence of ventilation hygiene. A TR19® certificate and photo report from a recent clean give them that. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Filching is calmer for everyone.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

When to call us in Filching
Ductwork is hidden above ceilings and in risers, so nobody sees the build-up. The grilles get a wipe, but what’s behind them does not.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
School buildings such as Willingdon Primary School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they carry
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether they recommend a next date
