Whitehawk ventilation duct cleaning

- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected

- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Visits to a place like Whitehawk are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Whitehawk
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after photos. 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. The work covers offices and schools, supply ductwork and hospitals and care homes, and people most often call us about ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection and toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff.
Smaller buildings around Whitehawk often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, out of sight and easy to overlook. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Other services in Whitehawk
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and restrict the flow over time.
Supply ductwork
Supply ducts carry air from the AHU into the rooms. Dust that slips past the filters builds up inside, and it’s cleaned out through access panels.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Whitehawk buildings and their air
There are about 35 schools, colleges and universities, about 37 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 24 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of central Whitehawk. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. The nearest hospital to Whitehawk is Royal Sussex County Hospital, about 0.6 miles south-west. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale. About 47 miles out from central London, Whitehawk is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Wherever a school like City Academy Whitehawk has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

Questions from Whitehawk
Do you work at weekends in Whitehawk?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Whitehawk doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in Whitehawk?
Yes, Whitehawk is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes. You get a certificate with the date, location and technician, plus a photo report.
Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Whitehawk?
Ductwork is hidden above ceilings and in risers, so nobody sees the build-up. The grilles get a wipe, but what’s behind them doesn’t.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Poor airflow from the vents
Healthcare buildings such as Royal Sussex County Hospital, about 0.6 miles south-west, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Whitehawk, yours matters too.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
