About our ventilation duct cleaning in Windmill Hill
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. Typical jobs include ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection and blocked general extract ductwork, on general extract ductwork, hospitals and care homes and grilles and diffusers.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Schools and colleges
Busy classrooms send a lot of dust and fibre into extract ducts. Regular inspection keeps on top of it.
Hospitals and care homes
Dust control matters during work in occupied care settings. We protect the work area and take everything away.
Windmill Hill: your questions answered
Is ventilation duct cleaning available in Windmill Hill?
Yes, Windmill Hill is covered. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with a few details of the site.
Can you get to a site in Windmill Hill?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Windmill Hill included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
It covers ventilation hygiene for supply and extract systems in offices, schools, hospitals and other buildings. Kitchen extract is covered separately, by TR19® Grease.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Windmill Hill.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

What we’re called out for in Windmill Hill
Filters never catch everything, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
School buildings such as Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.
Questions to ask before booking
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether they recommend a next date
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- File each ventilation report with the building records
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, based on what we found. Diary it straight away so it does not slip.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
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.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Windmill Hill
Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which puts less load on the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. If the system at a site near Windmill Hill fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
