Ventilation duct cleaning for sites in Sompting

About our ventilation duct cleaning in Sompting

Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Dust and debris build up in both, and some of it is blown back into the building. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. We’re often asked to deal with supply ducts with years of dust inside and construction dust left in ducts after a refit, on offices and schools, hospitals and care homes and general extract ductwork.

In a smaller place like Sompting, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.

We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

FAQs for Sompting

Do you clean school ventilation in Sompting in the holidays?

Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 7 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Sompting. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will fit the work in.

Do you work in villages like Sompting?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Sompting included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.

Are grilles and diffusers included?

Yes. Where they can be removed, they’re taken down, cleaned and refitted. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.

Who is the responsible person?

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.

What should I send you?

A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.

How do you deal with ducts you cannot get into?

Nothing is hidden: any section we couldn’t get into is listed. Access panels can be added where necessary.

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Sompting?

Filters never catch everything, so fine dust settles in supply ductwork over the years. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.

Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
  • Damp or stale smells from grilles
  • Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
  • Poor airflow from the vents

If you manage offices or shops near Lancing station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours.

What ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
  • Design problems with the ductwork layout
  • Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

What the work covers

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

Leave it or put it right?

Dust in ducts doesn’t go away on its own. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and the more gets blown back into the rooms. A planned visit to Sompting fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

How the visit works

Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We plan the journey to Sompting and bring what the job is likely to need.

  1. We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
  2. Access panels are opened along each run.
  3. We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
  4. Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
  5. After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the space around the work
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

How to get a quote

We don’t publish a 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 start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What the work involves, part by part

Hospitals and care homes

Hospitals and care homes are occupied day and night. The work is sequenced with staff to keep disruption down.

Offices and retail

Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. A clean before handover is a sensible step.

Ventilation in Sompting buildings

Food Standards Agency data includes about 7 schools, colleges and universities and about 23 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises across Sompting and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. We cover Sompting, about 47 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Worthing Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 1.6 miles south-west of Sompting.

Hospitals such as Worthing Hospital (about 1.6 miles south-west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Sompting are no different. For schools like Sompting Village Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning

Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:

  • The size of the system
  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • How easy every part is to reach
  • Parking and loading at the site

You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Helping us quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:

  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.

What your team can do, and what needs us

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
