About our ventilation duct cleaning in Highleigh
We cover Highleigh and the rest of West Sussex for ventilation duct cleaning, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. If you are dealing with dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years and poor airflow from the vents, we can help, from supply ductwork, toilet extract systems and hospitals and care homes onwards.
For a building in or near Highleigh, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Highleigh
Can you clean school ventilation in Highleigh during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Highleigh. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work at weekends in Highleigh?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Highleigh needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
Under TR19® Air, the answer comes from inspecting the ducts. Busy or sensitive buildings may need it more often.
Do we need to close while you work?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Somewhere like Highleigh, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We survey the system from drawings, pictures or a site visit.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Common problems we fix in Highleigh
Ventilation hygiene often gets left out of planned maintenance. A building in Highleigh can have well-serviced plant and dirty ductwork at the same time.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
For schools like Sidlesham Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
Before you book anyone
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Do not let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.
What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by ventilation duct cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Hospitals and care homes
- Grilles and diffusers
- Toilet extract systems
- General extract ductwork
- Supply ductwork
- Offices and schools
What affects the quote in Highleigh
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
