About our ventilation duct cleaning in Ditchling Common
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 every job starts with a look inside the ducts. Common call-outs are for ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and blocked general extract ductwork, on grilles and diffusers, toilet extract systems and supply ductwork.
For a building in or near Ditchling Common, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Ditchling Common and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Hospitals and care homes
- General extract ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
- Grilles and diffusers
- Offices and schools
- Supply ductwork
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so it’s all in one place. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Fit access panels where the ductwork can’t be reached. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.

Ditchling Common questions
Can you work in Ditchling Common outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Ditchling Common can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you offer ventilation duct cleaning in Ditchling Common?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ditchling Common is part of that. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day of the survey details.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What if there aren’t enough access panels?
Nothing is hidden: any section we couldn’t get into is listed. Access panels can be added where needed.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract ductwork
Toilet and washroom extract can carry moisture as well as dust, so the dust tends to cling. They’re cleaned and their condition recorded.
Hospitals and care homes
Hospitals and care homes are occupied day and night. We plan the order of work with the site team so care carries on.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ditchling Common
Smells, dust around grilles and stuffy rooms are signs the system needs attention. Acting early keeps the clean simpler. In a small place like Ditchling Common, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When to call us in Ditchling Common
Planned maintenance tends to focus on fans and filters, not the ducts. Plant can be well serviced while the ductwork goes untouched for years.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
Wherever a school like Birchwood Grove Community Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
