West Sussex · Ventilation duct cleaning
Felbridge ventilation duct cleaning
TR19 air cleaning of general supply and extract ventilation ductwork in commercial buildings for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Felbridge. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as moisture makes dust stick.
Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Felbridge
Ductwork is reached through access panels along each run. If some sections can’t be reached, the report says so, and new access panels can be installed for the next clean. The work covers general extract ductwork, supply ductwork and grilles and diffusers, and people most often call us about odours carried round the building by the ducts and toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff.
Work in a small place like Felbridge starts with agreeing access and timings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

How the job changes from site to site
Offices and retail
Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. Cleaning before the new occupants move in makes sense.
Extract ductwork
Toilet and washroom extract can carry moisture as well as dust, which makes dirt stick. We clean them and note any damp or corrosion.
Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Felbridge
Filters never catch everything, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Systems missing access panels
Healthcare buildings such as Queen Victoria Hospital, about 2.2 miles east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Felbridge, yours matters too.

FAQs for Felbridge
Do you work at weekends in Felbridge?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Felbridge can fit around your hours. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Felbridge in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 5 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Felbridge, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. 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.
Felbridge buildings and their air
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 5 schools, colleges and universities and about 9 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) with registered kitchens or food service across Felbridge and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. For Felbridge, the closest hospital is Queen Victoria Hospital, roughly 2.2 miles east. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital. At about 25 miles from central London, Felbridge sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
For schools like Felbridge Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Felbridge knowing what to expect.
- We survey the system from drawings, photos or a site visit.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
