How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Chailey
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that deals with general supply and extract ventilation. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so we look before we clean. Common call-outs are for dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers and supply ducts with years of dust inside, across offices and schools, grilles and diffusers and toilet extract systems.
Work in a small place like Chailey starts with agreeing access and timings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools and colleges
Busy classrooms send a lot of dust and fibre into extract ducts. Inspection shows when cleaning is due.
Offices and retail
Refits in commercial space often leave construction dust in the ducts. A clean before handover is a sensible step.
What we’re called out for in Chailey
Planned maintenance tends to focus on fans and filters, not the ducts. A building in Chailey can have well-serviced plant and dirty ductwork at the same time.
What we are most often called out for:
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Systems missing access panels
If you manage a school such as Chailey St Peter's Church of England Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

FAQs for Chailey
Do you cover smaller places like Chailey?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can a school’s ventilation in Chailey be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Chailey. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes, along with the ducts behind them. You’ll see them in the before and after photos.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
There’s no single interval; under TR19® Air, inspection decides. We suggest a next inspection date after each visit.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes, always. We check the layout, access and condition before giving a fixed quote.
What happens if parts of the ductwork can’t be reached?
Nothing is hidden: any section we couldn’t get into is listed. Access panels can be added where necessary.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

What else we do in Chailey
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, based on what we found. Diary it right away so it doesn’t slip.
Keep filters changed on time. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
