How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Brighton and Hove

Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. If you are dealing with supply ducts with years of dust inside and ducts that need a clean before handover, we can put it right, from offices and schools, hospitals and care homes and toilet extract systems onwards.

Buildings in towns like Brighton and Hove often have ventilation added in stages, with units on the roof or in a plant room. An inspection shows which parts need cleaning, so you are not paying for more than the system needs.

The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Brighton and Hove buildings and their air

There are about 38 schools, colleges and universities, about 88 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 9 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses on the FSA’s food hygiene register in Brighton and Hove and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. Brighton and Hove’s nearest hospital, Montefiore Hospital, is about 1.5 miles east. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes. Brighton and Hove is about 46 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.

If you manage a school such as West Hove Infant School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays. If you run an office near Aldrington station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside. Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Montefiore Hospital (about 1.5 miles east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

For landlords and multi-site operators

We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

Between visits

Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:

  • Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
  • File each ventilation report with the building records
  • Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
  • Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends

You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.

Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.

How the visit works

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Before the visit, a few pictures of the system and how to reach it help us plan the work in Brighton and Hove.

  1. We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
  2. Access panels are opened along each run.
  3. We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
  4. Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
  5. We take after photos and send the certificate and report.

Preparing for the visit

  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Clear the space around the work

How to get a quote

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Why it’s worth doing now in Brighton and Hove

Dust in ducts does not go away on its own. Every year adds to the job, and more of it finds its way back into the building. Before an inspection or an insurer’s visit in Brighton and Hove, it helps to have up-to-date records.

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.

What staff can safely do

Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

Part by part

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.

Schools and colleges

Holidays and weekends are the natural time to clean school ventilation, when classrooms are empty.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning

There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:

  • How big the system is
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • The number of sites or systems

You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.

Helping us quote

What to send for a quote:

  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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.
