What we’re called out for in Pease Pottage
It matters for the people inside: dusty ducts can blow debris back into rooms, restrict airflow and make fans work harder. In hospitals, care homes and schools, clean air is especially important.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Systems missing access panels
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Musty smells from the ventilation
Wherever a school like Discovery New School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether a survey comes first
About our ventilation duct cleaning in Pease Pottage
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Clean ducts are part of a healthy building, as much as clean filters and a well-kept AHU. The work covers supply ductwork, offices and schools and grilles and diffusers, and the jobs we see most are duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning and supply ducts with years of dust inside.
For a building near Pease Pottage, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The method does not change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
FAQs for Pease Pottage
Can a school’s ventilation in Pease Pottage be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Pease Pottage, the Food Standards Agency lists about 7 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Is Pease Pottage within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Pease Pottage is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What a clean will not put right
Ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. In a place like Pease Pottage, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- 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
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote

Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Leave it or put it right?
After building work, cleaning the ventilation before people move back in makes sense. Otherwise the dust from the works comes out of the grilles once it’s switched back on. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Different parts, different methods
Extract ductwork
Extract ducts take air out of toilets, washrooms and general areas. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and slowly narrow.
Grilles and diffusers
Every duct ends at a grille or diffuser in the room. They’re cleaned along with the ductwork, so dust on them isn’t blown back in.
