What we are called out for in Alciston
Moisture in ducts makes dust stick. Where there’s condensation or a leak, dust clings and builds faster, which is harder to shift later.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Systems missing access panels
- Blocked general extract ductwork
Healthcare buildings such as Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital, about 4.6 miles south-west, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Alciston, yours matters too.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the price is fixed

- When the next visit should be, and why
Ventilation duct cleaning in Alciston, done properly
We always start by inspecting. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, then recommend cleaning where it’s needed. That keeps the work in proportion to the risk. The work covers offices and schools, grilles and diffusers and general extract ductwork, and the jobs we see most are dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms and stuffy rooms and stale air.
Work in a small place like Alciston starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Common questions in Alciston
Is Alciston in your area for ventilation duct cleaning?
Yes, we work in Alciston and the places around it. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few details of the site.
Do you work at weekends in Alciston?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Alciston doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
When should our ventilation next be cleaned?
There’s no single interval; under TR19® Air, inspection decides. Each report recommends when the system should next be inspected.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Why it’s worth doing now in Alciston
Facilities teams are regularly asked to show evidence of ventilation hygiene. Having a recent certificate and photo report for a building in Alciston answers the question. Somewhere as small as Alciston, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why us?
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Log every filter change
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so the history stays together. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Do not let construction dust into the ventilation by switching it off or covering the grilles.
How the job changes from site to site
Offices and retail
Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. A clean before handover is a sensible step.
Schools and colleges
Holidays and weekends are the natural time to clean school ventilation, with nobody in the classrooms.
