About our ventilation duct cleaning in Tide Mills
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. Common call-outs are for stuffy rooms and stale air and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning, across hospitals and care homes, supply ductwork and general extract ductwork.
Work in a small place like Tide Mills starts with agreeing access and timings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Tide Mills?
Ventilation hygiene often gets left out of planned maintenance. A building in Tide Mills can have well-serviced plant and dirty ductwork at the same time.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
If you manage a school such as UTC@Harbourside, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

What else we do in Tide Mills
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Somewhere as small as Tide Mills, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

Tide Mills questions
Is ventilation duct cleaning available in Tide Mills?
Yes, Tide Mills is within the area we cover across London and the South East. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Tide Mills?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Tide Mills included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do you deal with ducts you can’t get into?
The report shows exactly which parts weren’t reached. We can install panels to open those sections up.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning won’t do:
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

Part by part
Extract ductwork
Extract fans pull air through these ducts, so a blocked duct strains them. Clearing the duct helps the fan do its job.
Hospitals and care homes
Dust control matters during work in occupied care settings. The area is protected, and debris contained and removed.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Log every filter change
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, based on what we found. Diary it straight away so it is not missed.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What happens if it’s left?
Dust in ducts doesn’t go away on its own. Every year adds to the job, and the more gets blown back into the rooms. In a place like Tide Mills, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
