Advice
About our ventilation duct cleaning in Sidlesham
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Sidlesham and right across West Sussex, from offices and schools to hospitals, care homes and shops. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. The work covers offices and schools, toilet extract systems and general extract ductwork, and people most often call us about systems missing access panels and musty smells from the ventilation.
In a village or hamlet like Sidlesham, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When to call us in Sidlesham
Many systems run for long hours, day after day, and every hour moves more dust through the ducts. Heavier use means faster build-up.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
For schools like Sidlesham Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether a survey comes first
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 need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What affects the quote in Sidlesham
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system

Sidlesham: your questions answered
Can you work in Sidlesham outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Sidlesham needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Sidlesham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How much time does a ventilation clean need?
The clean takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. We will know more after the survey, and you can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos to arrange it.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes. Inspection is the start of the TR19® Air approach and record what we find. We recommend cleaning where the inspection shows it’s due.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
