What we are called out for in Hellingly
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Musty smells from the ventilation
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Hawkes Farm Academy are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
Before you book anyone

- What hours they’ll be on site
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What insurance they carry
About our ventilation duct cleaning in Hellingly
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Hellingly and right across East Sussex, from offices and schools to hospitals, care homes and shops. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. The work covers supply ductwork, toilet extract systems and hospitals and care homes, and common reasons people get in touch are blocked general extract ductwork and damp or stale smells from grilles.
In a smaller place like Hellingly, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Log every filter change
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
Fit access panels where the ductwork cannot be reached. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
Leave it or put it right?
Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Putting the inspection off just means you do not know where you stand. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Hellingly at a time that suits you.

Questions from Hellingly
Can ventilation in schools around Hellingly be cleaned out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Hellingly, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Can you get to a site in Hellingly?
Yes. Hellingly is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
It takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. How much ductwork there is and how easily it’s reached decide the rest.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
