How we handle AHU cleaning in Adur
No two plant rooms are the same, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. Every job starts with a survey, from photos or on site, followed by a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. The work covers drain trays, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres, and people most often call us about dirty fans and fan housings and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs.
For a building in or near Adur, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
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, and we are fully insured.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Report water on the plant room floor
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Adur
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Different parts, different methods
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. We clean the impeller, housing and surrounding section.
Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. We protect the area below before opening them.
AHU cleaning around Adur
Food Standards Agency records list about 11 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises registered as food businesses across Adur and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. About 45 miles out from central London, Adur is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Adur’s nearest hospital, Southlands Hospital, is about 1.7 miles south-east. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Southlands Hospital (about 1.7 miles south-east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts. Wherever a school like The Sir Robert Woodard Academy has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

A clean unit feeds cleaner air into the ductwork, so the whole system stays cleaner for longer. That makes the next inspection of a building in Adur simpler. A planned visit to Adur is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

Adur: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Adur?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Adur can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Adur?
Yes, Adur is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
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 send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Adur run smoothly.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
