Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Firle
We cover Firle and the rest of East Sussex for ventilation duct cleaning, from offices and schools to hospitals, care homes and shops. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. The work covers grilles and diffusers, toilet extract systems and supply ductwork, and the jobs we see most are ductwork with too few access panels to clean and construction dust left in ducts after a refit.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by ventilation duct cleaning, and we will tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Firle?
Ventilation hygiene often gets left out of planned maintenance. Plant can be well serviced while the ductwork goes untouched for years.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Systems missing access panels
School buildings such as Firle Church of England Primary School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

Different parts, different methods
Extract ductwork
Extract fans pull air through these ducts, so a blocked duct strains them. Clearing the duct helps the fan do its job.
Schools and colleges
Busy classrooms send a lot of dust and fibre into extract ducts. Inspection shows when cleaning is due.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Firle run smoothly.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Leave it or put it right?
After building work, cleaning the ventilation before people move back in makes sense. Otherwise construction dust left in the ducts is blown out once the system runs. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
