Ventilation duct cleaning in Ovingdean, done properly
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. The work covers hospitals and care homes, offices and schools and supply ductwork, and common reasons people get in touch are musty smells from the ventilation and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected.
For a building in or near Ovingdean, 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What affects the quote in Ovingdean
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How big the system is
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What the work involves, part by part
Grilles and diffusers
Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. The grilles are cleaned and the ducts behind inspected.
Hospitals and care homes
Patients and residents may be more sensitive to dust in the air. Inspection-led cleaning under TR19® Air helps keep systems in good condition.

Leave it or put it right?
A clean system moves air more easily, which takes strain off the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. A planned visit to Ovingdean is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Ovingdean run smoothly.
- We survey the system from drawings, photos or a site visit.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Stick to the filter change schedule
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as moisture makes dust stick.

Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we will survey first.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. We clean the grilles and diffusers along with the ductwork, so the room side is clean too.
Do we need to close while you work?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
