Hurstpierpoint questions
Can you come to Hurstpierpoint after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Can ventilation in schools around Hurstpierpoint be cleaned out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Hurstpierpoint, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
How much time does a ventilation clean need?
Typically, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Large buildings can be phased, often out of hours, and we’ll confirm the plan when we quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Hurstpierpoint
Inspection comes first. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, then recommend cleaning where it’s needed. That way the work matches the real condition. Common call-outs are for blocked general extract ductwork and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning, on toilet extract systems, offices and schools and general extract ductwork.
Smaller buildings around Hurstpierpoint often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, where they’re easy to forget. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Different parts, different methods
Supply ductwork
Supply ducts carry air from the AHU into the rooms. Dust that slips past the filters builds up inside, and it’s cleaned out through access panels.
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. They collect dust, lint and fibres and slowly narrow.
Common problems we fix in Hurstpierpoint
Ductwork is hidden above ceilings and in risers, so nobody sees the build-up. The grilles get a wipe, but what’s behind them doesn’t.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
Hospitals such as The Dene Hospital (about 2.1 miles north) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Hurstpierpoint are no different.

What affects the quote in Hurstpierpoint
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Hurstpierpoint.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- 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
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Leaking or broken duct sections
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Grilles and diffusers
- Toilet extract systems
- General extract ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
- Supply ductwork
- Offices and schools
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
