About our ventilation duct cleaning in Saltdean
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Saltdean and right across Brighton and Hove, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. Typical jobs include damp or stale smells from grilles and grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt, on general extract ductwork, offices and schools and toilet extract systems.
Smaller buildings around Saltdean often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, where they’re easy to forget. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What we do, step by step
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Around Saltdean, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
When to call us in Saltdean
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.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
School buildings such as Saltdean Primary School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether they recommend a next date
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the price is fixed

What else we do in Saltdean
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Part by part
Schools and colleges
Schools and colleges are easiest to clean during the holidays, with nobody in the classrooms.
Offices and retail
Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. Cleaning before the new occupants move in makes sense.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, based on what we found. Put it in the diary now so it is not missed.
Do not let construction dust into the ventilation by switching it off or covering the grilles.
Saltdean: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Saltdean?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Saltdean can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Saltdean?
Yes, Saltdean is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
