About our ventilation duct cleaning in Westergate
We always start by inspecting. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, then recommend cleaning where it’s needed. That keeps the work in proportion to the risk. If you’re dealing with grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning, we can help, from hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and offices and schools onwards.
Smaller buildings around Westergate often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, where they’re easy to forget. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Westergate
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract ductwork
Washroom extracts handle damp air, which makes dirt stick. They’re cleaned and their condition recorded.
Offices and retail
Refits in commercial space often leave construction dust in the ducts. Cleaning before the new occupants move in makes sense.

- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Building management settings that run the plant
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

- Supply ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
- Grilles and diffusers
- Offices and schools
- General extract ductwork
Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Westergate?
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, especially when the system runs during the work. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
Hospitals such as Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (about 3.1 miles south) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Westergate are no different.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Keep filters changed on time
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, based on what we found. Put it in the diary now so it doesn’t slip.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
Westergate: your questions answered
Will you come out to Westergate?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can ventilation in schools around Westergate be cleaned out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Westergate. You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
What does TR19 Air cover?
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that covers general supply and extract ventilation, beyond the kitchen. It works on inspection and risk, while TR19® Grease covers kitchen extract systems.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
What happens if parts of the ductwork cannot be reached?
Those sections are recorded as not cleaned in the report, so it’s clear what’s outstanding. We can fit new access panels so they’re covered next time.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. For a place like Westergate, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
