About our ventilation duct cleaning in South Chailey
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that deals with general supply and extract ventilation. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so we look before we clean. The work covers offices and schools, general extract ductwork and toilet extract systems, and people most often call us about ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms.
Work in a small place like South Chailey starts with agreeing access and timings.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the job changes from site to site
Hospitals and care homes
Hospitals and care homes are occupied day and night. We plan the order of work with the site team so care carries on.
Supply ductwork
We check supply ducts at intervals along each run before deciding what to clean.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
South Chailey: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in South Chailey?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you work in South Chailey outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in South Chailey doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Which accreditations do you hold?
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.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.

What happens on the day
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 photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. In a small place like South Chailey, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Why act early in South Chailey
Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Putting the inspection off just means you don’t know where you stand. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
