How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in North Chailey
We get into the ducts through access panels at intervals along the system. If some sections can’t be reached, the report says so, and we can fit new panels for the next clean. If you have odours carried round the building by the ducts and blocked general extract ductwork, we can put it right, from supply ductwork, hospitals and care homes and grilles and diffusers onwards.
Somewhere as small as North Chailey, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Visits to a village like North Chailey are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Preparing for the visit

What the work involves, part by part
Hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, there’s no quiet time. The work is sequenced with staff so care carries on.
Supply ductwork
Anything in a supply duct can end up in the rooms it feeds. We clean the runs so it is not blown back in.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by ventilation duct cleaning, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Problems with how the system is controlled
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Grilles and diffusers

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What happens if it’s left?
Smells, dust around grilles and stuffy rooms are signs the system needs attention. Acting early keeps the clean simpler. Somewhere as small as North Chailey, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Common questions in North Chailey
Can you get to a site in North Chailey?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and North Chailey is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you work in North Chailey outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in North Chailey keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes. The certificate records the date and location of the work and the technician, plus a photo report.
What is TR19® Air?
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that covers general supply and extract ventilation, beyond the kitchen. It works on inspection and risk, and kitchen extract falls under TR19® Grease.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in North Chailey
Many systems run for long hours, day after day, and every hour moves more dust through the ducts. The busier the building, the faster it builds up.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
Wherever a school like Chailey Heritage School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- If they look at the system before pricing
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
