Ventilation duct cleaning across Hadlow Down

Ventilation duct cleaning in Hadlow Down

Inspection comes first. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, then recommend cleaning where it’s needed. That way the work matches the real condition. Common call-outs are for systems missing access panels and damp or stale smells from grilles, across hospitals and care homes, general extract ductwork and supply ductwork.

Work in a small place like Hadlow Down starts with agreeing access and timings.

Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Different parts, different methods

Offices and retail

Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. Cleaning before the new occupants move in makes sense.

Grilles and diffusers

Grilles and diffusers that are designed to come out are removed for cleaning, then put back.

Multi-site and managed buildings

From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

What a clean will not put right

Not every problem is solved by ventilation duct cleaning, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:

  • Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
  • Design problems with the ductwork layout
  • Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Where we work

Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. For Hadlow Down, the closest hospital is Crowborough War Memorial Hospital, roughly 3.8 miles north. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital.

  • One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
  • Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
  • Full insurance on every job

Read how cleaning jobs are priced and our accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:

  • File each ventilation report with the building records
  • Keep filters changed on time
  • Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
  • Report dust blowing from grilles straight away

You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.

Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.

How the visit works

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Hadlow Down can be planned properly.

  1. We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
  2. We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
  3. Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
  4. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
  5. A certificate and before and after pictures follow, with anything not reached recorded.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Tell us where we can park and unload
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What does TR19 mean?

TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.

What accreditations do you have?

We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.

What is TR19® Air?

TR19® Air deals with general ventilation, while TR19® Grease deals with kitchen extract. TR19® Air takes an inspection-led, risk-based approach.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

Do we lose a day’s trading?

Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
