A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.

Ventilation duct cleaning in Sharpthorne

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. If you are dealing with rooms that feel airless when the system runs and odours carried round the building by the ducts, we can put it right, from supply ductwork, grilles and diffusers and offices and schools onwards.

For a building in or near Sharpthorne, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.

The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Aftercare tips

Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
  • Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
  • Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
  • Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning

Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.

Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as moisture makes dust stick.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Sharpthorne

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:

  • The scale of the work
  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • How easy every part is to reach
  • The times the site is available

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Helping us quote

To speed up the quote, please include:

  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

What a clean will not put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
  • Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
  • Design problems with the ductwork layout

If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Parts of the system we cover

  • General extract ductwork
  • Supply ductwork
  • Grilles and diffusers
  • Offices and schools
  • Hospitals and care homes
  • Toilet extract systems

The process

The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Visits to a village like Sharpthorne are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.

  1. We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
  2. Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
  3. The area below is protected and the system switched off.
  4. Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
  5. We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

How the job changes from site to site

Offices and retail

Refits in commercial space often leave construction dust in the ducts. A clean before handover is a sensible step.

Schools and colleges

Busy classrooms send a lot of dust and fibre into extract ducts. Regular inspection keeps on top of it.

Common questions in Sharpthorne

Do you work in villages like Sharpthorne?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Sharpthorne included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.

Can you come to Sharpthorne after we close?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Sharpthorne keeps running as normal. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.

How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in Sharpthorne?

We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.

Which accreditations do you hold?

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.

How far ahead should we book?

It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.

What should I send you?

Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.

Who is the responsible person?

It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
