Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in East Dean
Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Over time, both collect dust and debris, and some of it is blown back into the building. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. Common call-outs are for grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt and damp or stale smells from grilles, across hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and general extract ductwork.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
How the job changes from site to site
Supply ductwork
Supply runs are inspected at set points first to see where cleaning is needed.
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers that are designed to come out are removed for cleaning, then refitted.
Common problems we fix in East Dean
Why does it matter?: dusty ducts can blow debris back into rooms, restrict airflow and make fans work harder. Where people are vulnerable, as in healthcare and care settings, the stakes are higher.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
Chichester Centre, about 5 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to East Dean, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. If you can send photos, we can arrive in East Dean knowing what to expect.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

East Dean questions
Can you clean school ventilation in East Dean during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around East Dean, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you come to East Dean after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you inspect before cleaning?
Yes, on every job. We check the layout, access and condition, so the quote is fixed before any work starts.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in East Dean?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Usually not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
