Ventilation Duct Cleaning in Ditchling
Ventilation duct cleaning for Ditchling, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Ditchling, done properly
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Ditchling and right across West Sussex, from offices and schools to hospitals, care homes and shops. Every job begins with a survey and a fixed quote. If you have dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms and blocked general extract ductwork, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Ditchling, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What the work involves, part by part
Supply ductwork
Supply runs are inspected at set points first before deciding what to clean.
Offices and retail
Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. Cleaning before the new occupants move in makes sense.
Questions from Ditchling
Do you work overnight in Ditchling?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Ditchling needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you work in villages like Ditchling?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Ditchling included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. We clean the grilles and diffusers along with the ductwork, so the room side is clean too.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
The clean takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. The survey gives us a clearer idea, so call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form to get started.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Log every filter change
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Don’t let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Visits to a village like Ditchling are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Get a fixed 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.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by ventilation duct cleaning, and we will tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- A system that is not designed to move enough air
- Problems with how the system is controlled
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
