About our ventilation duct cleaning in Hailsham

Ductwork is reached through access panels at intervals along the system. If some sections cannot be reached, the report says so, and new access panels can be installed so they’re covered next time. Typical jobs include supply ducts with years of dust inside and ductwork with too few access panels to clean, on supply ductwork, general extract ductwork and offices and schools.

Many schools and offices in a town like Hailsham have a mix of older and newer ventilation. An inspection shows which parts need cleaning.

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 ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
  • Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
  • Leaking or broken duct sections

Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Multi-site and managed buildings

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:

  • File each ventilation report with the building records
  • Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
  • Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
  • Report dust blowing from grilles straight away

Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters are the quickest way to undo a duct clean.

Do not let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Hailsham?

Most ductwork is out of sight, so dust collects unseen. The grilles get a wipe, but what’s behind them doesn’t.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Stuffy rooms and stale air
  • Systems missing access panels
  • Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
  • Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff

Healthcare buildings such as Amberstone Hospital, about 1.5 miles north-east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Hailsham, yours matters too.

What we do, step by step

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Work in Hailsham is usually booked after closing, early in the morning or on a closed day.

  1. First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
  2. Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
  3. The work area is protected and the system switched off.
  4. We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
  5. The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
