About our ventilation duct cleaning in East Wittering
Inspection comes first. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That keeps the work in proportion to the risk. If you have blocked general extract ductwork and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning, we can put it right, from general extract ductwork, hospitals and care homes and offices and schools onwards.
Around a place like East Wittering, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Your opening hours decide when we come to East Wittering, not ours.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so it’s all in one place. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.
How the job changes from site to site
Grilles and diffusers
Every duct ends at a grille or diffuser in the room. They’re cleaned along with the ductwork, so the room side matches the duct side.
Schools and colleges
We plan the work around the school calendar and agree access with the site team.
Managing agents and facilities teams in East Wittering
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
FAQs for East Wittering
Do you offer ventilation duct cleaning in East Wittering?
Yes, we work in East Wittering and the places around it. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work in villages like East Wittering?
Yes, East Wittering is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Can you clean ventilation out of hours?
Yes, whenever daytime working isn’t practical. We agree a window when the ventilation can go off.
What is TR19® Air?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. TR19® Air takes an inspection-led, risk-based approach.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
Inspection should decide it, in line with TR19® Air. Heavily used buildings, or those with vulnerable occupants, may need attention more often.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
