How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Halnaker
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, so you have it all on record. Common call-outs are for ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection and dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers, on toilet extract systems, hospitals and care homes and supply ductwork.
Work in a small place like Halnaker starts with agreeing access and timings.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Halnaker: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Halnaker?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Halnaker included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can the work in Halnaker be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Halnaker doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Somewhere as small as Halnaker, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Halnaker buildings and their air
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 5 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) with registered kitchens or food service within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Halnaker. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. Halnaker’s nearest hospital, Chichester Centre, is about 2.9 miles south-west. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale. Halnaker is about 51 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
School buildings such as Boxgrove CofE Primary School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What we are called out for in Halnaker
It matters for the people inside: dirt in the ducts can come back out of the grilles, slow the air and add strain on fans. Where people are vulnerable, as in healthcare and care settings, the stakes are higher.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Systems missing access panels
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Halnaker, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Chichester Centre (about 2.9 miles south-west).
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What records you will receive afterwards
- When the next visit should be, and why
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: 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
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers are where the ducts meet the room. They’re cleaned along with the ductwork, so dust on them is not blown back in.
Schools and colleges
Busy classrooms send a lot of dust and fibre into extract ducts. Regular inspection keeps on top of it.
