Ventilation duct cleaning in Withdean, done properly
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. Typical jobs include blocked general extract ductwork and construction dust left in ducts after a refit, on general extract ductwork, offices and schools and toilet extract systems.
In a place like Withdean, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, where they’re easy to forget. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Your opening hours decide when we come to Withdean, not ours.
- We survey the system from drawings, photos or a site visit.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
When to call us in Withdean
Many systems run for long hours, day after day, and every hour moves more dust through the ducts. Heavier use means faster build-up.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
Wherever a school like St Bernadette's Catholic Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What insurance they carry
- If they look at the system before pricing

FAQs for Withdean
Can the work in Withdean be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.

Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Do we need to close while you work?
Usually not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
Typically, the work takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Large buildings can be phased, often out of hours, to fit around the building.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What affects the quote in Withdean
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Why deal with it now?
Leave dust in the ductwork and it keeps building. Every year adds to the job, and more of it finds its way back into the building. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
