Ventilation duct cleaning in Wych Cross, East Sussex
Professional ventilation duct cleaning in and around Wych Cross, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
How it works
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, which takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Wych Cross and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Ventilation duct cleaning in Wych Cross, done properly
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Keeping the ducts clean is a sensible part of looking after them, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. The work covers toilet extract systems, offices and schools and hospitals and care homes, and people most often call us about poor airflow from the vents and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What happens if it’s left?
Smells, dust around grilles and stuffy rooms are signs the system needs attention. Dealing with them now stops them getting worse. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Wych Cross rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.

FAQs for Wych Cross
Do you work at weekends in Wych Cross?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Wych Cross needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Is Wych Cross in your area for ventilation duct cleaning?
Yes, Wych Cross is covered. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with a few details of the site.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
Under TR19® Air, the answer comes from inspecting the ducts. Heavily used buildings, or those with vulnerable occupants, may need attention more often.
Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Wych Cross
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether several sites go on one quote

What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
