Ventilation duct cleaning in Shoreham
Ductwork is reached through access panels along each run. Where there are not enough panels to reach every section, we note the uncleaned parts in the report, and we can fit new panels for the next clean. The work covers hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and offices and schools, and the jobs we see most are toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning.
Somewhere as small as Shoreham, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What ventilation duct cleaning looks like in Shoreham
For Shoreham, the closest hospital is Sevenoaks Hospital, roughly 3.2 miles south. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital. At about 16 miles from central London, Shoreham sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Workplaces around Shoreham (Kent) station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts. Wherever a school like Shoreham Village School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

Common reasons sites call us include:
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
Healthcare buildings such as Sevenoaks Hospital, about 3.2 miles south, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Shoreham, yours matters too.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: 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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Shoreham
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers

- Where the site is and how we reach it

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
The report lists the sections we cleaned and any we couldn’t reach, backed up by before and after photos. If access panels are needed, we will say where.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.

FAQs for Shoreham
Can ventilation in schools around Shoreham be cleaned out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Shoreham, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 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.
Can you get to a site in Shoreham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Shoreham included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How much notice do you need?
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 for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What if there are not enough access panels?
We list any unreached sections on the report, so it’s clear what’s outstanding. New access panels can be installed so they’re covered next time.
What is TR19® Air?
TR19® Air deals with general ventilation, while TR19® Grease deals with kitchen extract. TR19® Air takes an inspection-led, risk-based approach.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Shoreham can be planned properly.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
