Ventilation duct cleaning in Ellen's Green, West Sussex

What the work involves, part by part
Hospitals and care homes
In care settings, keeping dust contained is a priority. We protect the work area and take everything away.
Schools and colleges
Busy classrooms send a lot of dust and fibre into extract ducts. Inspection shows when cleaning is due.
About our ventilation duct cleaning in Ellen's Green
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 keeps the work in proportion to the risk. The work covers general extract ductwork, supply ductwork and offices and schools, and people most often call us about rooms that feel airless when the system runs and systems missing access panels.
In a village or hamlet like Ellen's Green, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, 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 the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. In a small place like Ellen's Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep filters changed on time
- Watch for water stains around grilles
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 is not missed.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.

Common questions in Ellen's Green
Can you come to Ellen's Green after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Ellen's Green can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Ellen's Green?
Yes. Ellen's Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
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 is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Why deal with it now?
Dust in ducts does not go away on its own. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and more of it finds its way back into the building. Somewhere as small as Ellen's Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

What we’re called out for in Ellen's Green
Moisture in ducts makes dust stick. Condensation and leaks turn loose dust into a stubborn layer, which is harder to shift later.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Ellen's Green, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Horsham Hospital (about 4.8 miles south-east).
