Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hollingbury
Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Over time, both collect dust and debris, and some of it is blown back into the building. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. If you’re dealing with dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning, we can put it right, from grilles and diffusers, supply ductwork and toilet extract systems onwards.
For a building near Hollingbury, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
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, ready for your insurer.

Why deal with it now?
Where a building in Hollingbury serves patients, residents or children, putting off ventilation cleaning is hard to justify. Clean ducts are part of providing good air for the people inside. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

How the job changes from site to site
Hospitals and care homes
Dust control matters during work in occupied care settings. The area is protected, and debris contained and removed.
Supply ductwork
Dust in supply ducts can be blown straight into occupied rooms. We clean the runs so it isn’t blown back in.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Hollingbury: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 33 schools, colleges and universities, about 28 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses with registered kitchens or food service within about 1.5 miles of central Hollingbury. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. We cover Hollingbury, about 44 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Hollingbury’s nearest hospital, Brighton General Hospital, is about 2.1 miles south. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.
For schools like Carden Nursery and Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation. Healthcare buildings such as Brighton General Hospital, about 2.1 miles south, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Hollingbury, yours matters too.

Other local landmarks include The Dharma Primary School (0.5 miles north-west) and County Oak pub (under half a mile north-east).

Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

When it’s something else
Ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Hollingbury
Do you work in villages like Hollingbury?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hollingbury is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can ventilation in schools around Hollingbury be cleaned out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 33 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hollingbury. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Your opening hours decide when we come to Hollingbury, not ours.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
