About our ventilation duct cleaning in Streat
We always start by inspecting. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That way the work matches the real condition. The work covers hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and general extract ductwork, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork never cleaned since it was installed and musty smells from the ventilation.
In a village or hamlet like Streat, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
The report is your 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.

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Streat
Many systems run for long hours, day after day, and every hour of running brings more dust with it. Heavier use means faster build-up.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Musty smells from the ventilation
Hospitals such as Lewes Victoria Hospital (about 4.5 miles south-east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Streat are no different.

Why act early in Streat
Where a building in Streat serves patients, residents or children, putting off ventilation cleaning is hard to justify. Clean ducts are part of providing good air for the people inside. Somewhere as small as Streat, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Streat
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters are the quickest way to undo a duct clean.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.

What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Streat.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Different parts, different methods

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Streat
Do you work at weekends in Streat?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Streat in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Streat, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
When should our ventilation next be cleaned?
Under TR19® Air, the answer comes from inspecting the ducts. Heavily used buildings, or those with vulnerable occupants, may need attention more often.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
