What we’re called out for in Etchingwood
Many systems run for long hours, day after day, and every hour of running brings more dust with it. The busier the building, the faster it builds up.
What we are most often called out for:
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Systems missing access panels
If you manage a school such as Uckfield College, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether a survey comes first
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the price is fixed
Leave it or put it right?
Dust streaks around grilles and stale rooms suggest the ducts need looking at. Acting early keeps the clean simpler. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Etchingwood rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Etchingwood before we set off.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
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.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes. TR19® Air is inspection-led, so we look inside the ducts at set points and record what we find. Cleaning is recommended where it’s needed.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
