Ventilation duct cleaning in Hadlow
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. The work covers general extract ductwork, grilles and diffusers and supply ductwork, and people most often call us about ductwork never cleaned since it was installed and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Keep filters changed on time
The report lists the sections we cleaned and any we couldn’t reach, with photos before and after. If access panels are needed, we’ll say where.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.
What we’re called out for in Hadlow
Why does it matter?: dirt in the ducts can come back out of the grilles, slow the air and add strain on fans. Where people are vulnerable, as in healthcare and care settings, the stakes are higher.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
Hospitals such as Tonbridge Cottage Hospital (about 4.3 miles south-west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Hadlow are no different.
What to look for in a quote
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What insurance they carry
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Somewhere like Hadlow, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
Common questions in Hadlow
Will you come out to Hadlow?
Yes, Hadlow is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you clean school ventilation in Hadlow during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Hadlow. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
It takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. The size of the system and the access make the biggest difference.
What if there aren’t enough access panels?
Accessible sections are cleaned and the others recorded. Extra access panels can solve it, and we can fit them.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Part by part
Extract ductwork
Toilet and washroom extract can carry moisture as well as dust, which makes dirt stick. They’re cleaned and their condition recorded.
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers that are designed to come out are removed for cleaning, then refitted.
Hadlow buildings and their air
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 schools, colleges and universities registered as food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Hadlow. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. We cover Hadlow, about 26 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. About 4.3 miles south-west of Hadlow is Tonbridge Cottage Hospital, the nearest hospital. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital.
If you manage a school such as Hadlow Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
