Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Worthing
We cover Worthing and the rest of West Sussex for ventilation duct cleaning, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Every job begins with a survey and a fixed quote. If you are dealing with systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and musty smells from the ventilation, we can help.
In a big place like Worthing, one building can have several AHUs serving different zones. Each has filters, coils, a drain tray and a fan that need attention, and a drain tray holding water is something we look for on every unit.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What we are called out for in Worthing
Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Where there’s condensation or a leak, dust clings and builds faster, and it becomes harder to remove.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like The Acre (about 1.2 miles south-east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the price is fixed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, backed up by before and after photos. We’ll suggest where new access panels would help.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
Why deal with it now?
After building work, cleaning the ventilation before people move back in makes sense. Otherwise construction dust left in the ducts is blown out once the system runs. Larger sites in Worthing are easier to manage on a planned schedule.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. In the busier parts of Worthing, parking and roof access are the main things to plan.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

How the job changes from site to site
Grilles and diffusers
Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. We clean the grilles and look at what’s behind them.
Hospitals and care homes
People in hospitals and care homes can be more vulnerable to poor air. Inspecting and cleaning to TR19® Air supports good air quality.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Worthing buildings and their air
Food Standards Agency data includes about 18 schools, colleges and universities, about 82 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 7 hotels and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Worthing. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. At about 48 miles from central London, Worthing sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. The Acre is the nearest hospital, about 1.2 miles south-east of Worthing. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Durrington High School are easiest to work in when pupils are away. If you run an office near West Worthing station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside.
