About our ventilation duct cleaning in Wadhurst
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. The work covers hospitals and care homes, offices and schools and grilles and diffusers, and people most often call us about supply ducts with years of dust inside and ductwork with too few access panels to clean.
Around a place like Wadhurst, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Wadhurst
Do you clean school ventilation in Wadhurst in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Wadhurst, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you come to Wadhurst after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
Inspection should decide it, in line with TR19® Air. Heavily used buildings, or those with vulnerable occupants, may need attention more often.
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.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you provide a report?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. Keep them in the maintenance log.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Leave it or put it right?
An inspection-led approach avoids cleaning ducts that do not need it. Putting the inspection off just means you don’t know where you stand. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Around Wadhurst, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Wadhurst
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
