... provided that there is not a lot more loose stuff 'above' waiting to fall down and replace what one has vacuumed out

My experience is flexible conduit will clog and block, For a job like this it needs to be a smooth bore or large, additionally in order to disturb and possibly break up the loose fill; something hard.
If the loosefill above really is loose and falling the 2 solutions are either set up a shute and let it fall out onto a bucket oe stabilise it with a few long nails or screws
