How the job changes from site to site
Hospitals and care homes
In care settings, keeping dust contained is a priority. We protect the work area and take everything away.
Supply ductwork
Anything in a supply duct can end up in the rooms it feeds. We clean the runs so it is not blown back in.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Uckfield
Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Dust and debris build up in both, and some of it is blown back into the building. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. Typical jobs include ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection and extract ducts clogged with lint and dust, across offices and schools, supply ductwork and grilles and diffusers.
In Uckfield, ventilation in schools and offices is cleaned when the building is quiet: evenings, weekends or school holidays.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common questions in Uckfield
Can you come to Uckfield after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Uckfield can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What’s the best way to get a price for ventilation duct cleaning in Uckfield?

How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. TR19® Air takes an inspection-led, risk-based approach.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Common problems we fix in Uckfield
Even good filters let some dust through, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
If you manage a school such as St Philip's Catholic Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
Before booking anyone
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether a survey comes first
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Sites in a town like Uckfield rarely need to lose trading hours, as the work fits around them.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
