About our ventilation duct cleaning in Chiddingly
We always start by inspecting. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That way the work matches the real condition. We’re often asked to deal with toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff and odours carried round the building by the ducts, on general extract ductwork, offices and schools and hospitals and care homes.
Work in a small place like Chiddingly starts with agreeing access and timings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How the job changes from site to site
Grilles and diffusers
Where they come out, grilles are taken down and cleaned, then put back.
Supply ductwork
Anything in a supply duct can end up in the rooms it feeds. We clean the runs so it isn’t blown back in.
What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Building management settings that run the plant
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Grilles and diffusers
- General extract ductwork
- Supply ductwork
- Offices and schools
- Hospitals and care homes

Common questions in Chiddingly
Do you work overnight in Chiddingly?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Chiddingly does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you work in villages like Chiddingly?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What does TR19 Air cover?
TR19® Air deals with general ventilation, while TR19® Grease deals with kitchen extract. TR19® Air takes an inspection-led, risk-based approach.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Chiddingly.
- We survey the system from drawings, pictures or a site visit.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

What affects the quote in Chiddingly
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- Travel, parking and unloading
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Put it in the diary now so it doesn’t slip.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.
