Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Upper Hartfield
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Clean ducts are part of a healthy building, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. The work covers supply ductwork, general extract ductwork and toilet extract systems, and people most often call us about rooms that feel airless when the system runs and systems missing access panels.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Keep filters changed on time
You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Fit access panels where the ductwork can’t be reached. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Upper Hartfield?
Most ductwork is out of sight, so nobody sees the build-up. Grilles may be wiped, but the ducts behind them rarely are.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
Around Upper Hartfield, as anywhere, ventilation cleaning begins with an inspection.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether VAT is included
- If they look at the system before pricing
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by ventilation duct cleaning, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

Common questions in Upper Hartfield
Is Upper Hartfield within the area you cover?
Yes, Upper Hartfield is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can ventilation in schools around Upper Hartfield be cleaned out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Upper Hartfield. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and weekends, to keep the building open.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
Work on site takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. We will know more after the survey, so ring 0345 646 2711 or email us to get started.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes, along with the ducts behind them. They show up in the photo report before and after.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Upper Hartfield and across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
