Ventilation cleaning in Shoreham-by-Sea
Ventilation duct cleaning across Shoreham-by-Sea and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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. Leave those to us.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Shoreham-by-Sea
Beyond the kitchen, TR19® Air covers the ordinary supply and extract systems that serve offices, schools and other buildings. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so every job starts with a look inside the ducts. Typical jobs include ducts that need a clean before handover and ductwork never cleaned since it was installed, on supply ductwork, general extract ductwork and hospitals and care homes.
Many schools and offices in a town like Shoreham-by-Sea have a mix of older and newer ventilation. The work starts with an inspection to decide what needs cleaning.
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’re fully insured.

Expect it to take anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. How much ductwork there is and how easily it’s reached decide the rest.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
There’s no single interval; under TR19® Air, inspection decides. Each report recommends when the system should next be inspected.
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.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.

What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the ventilation duct cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Three things shape a visit in Shoreham-by-Sea: when you are closed, where we can park and how we get to the system.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Don’t let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.
