How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Abbey Gate run smoothly.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
About our AHU cleaning in Abbey Gate
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. Common call-outs are for dust-coated heating and cooling coils and drain trays holding standing water, on internal panels, supply and extract fans and drain trays.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. The nearest hospital to Abbey Gate is KIMS hospital, about 2 miles south-east. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.

How the job changes from site to site
Rooftop and plant room units
Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. The intake section gets particular attention.
Filters
Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and clean the filter housing.
Common problems we fix in Abbey Gate
Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids, so they’re easy to forget about. It’s easy for a long time to go by without anyone opening the panels.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
Wherever a school like Sandling Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Why act early in Abbey Gate
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. The result is extra wear and a building that does not feel as comfortable, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
