Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Log every filter change
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Put it in the diary now so it is not missed.
Don’t let construction dust into the ventilation by switching it off or covering the grilles.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Ringmer
In a building in Ringmer, the people inside spend hours breathing what the ventilation delivers. Keeping the ducts clean is a sensible part of looking after them, as much as clean filters and a well-kept AHU. The work covers hospitals and care homes, offices and schools and toilet extract systems, and the jobs we see most are grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt and musty smells from the ventilation.
For a building near Ringmer, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Ringmer, so let us know how to reach it.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Common problems we fix in Ringmer
Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, especially when the system runs during the work. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
For schools like Ringmer Primary and Nursery School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Ringmer
Can a school’s ventilation in Ringmer be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Ringmer. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can the work in Ringmer be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Ringmer doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in Ringmer?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
Typically, the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Bigger sites are split into stages, and we’ll confirm the plan when we quote.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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. That is our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
