What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Aldingbourne
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. If you have air handling units never cleaned inside and coils clogged with dust and debris, we can help, from filter sections, drain trays and internal panels onwards.
Work in a small place like Aldingbourne starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Leave it or put it right?
When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the whole system stays cleaner for longer. It also means the next inspection has less to find. It’s simpler to plan the work at Aldingbourne now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Aldingbourne.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

Aldingbourne buildings and their air
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 4 schools, colleges and universities and about 3 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) serving food in Aldingbourne and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. At about 52 miles from central London, Aldingbourne sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Aldingbourne’s nearest hospital, Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital, is about 3.3 miles south. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.
For schools like Aldingbourne Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
Aldingbourne is about 3 miles north of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. We carry out AHU cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Aldingbourne and the rest of West Sussex. Aldingbourne is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we work for commercial clients. Portsmouth is in our area too, about 17 miles from Aldingbourne.
We cover every part of the PO20 postcode area for AHU cleaning and the roads nearby. We cover sites on Hook Lane and Park Lane and the roads around them. We also cover Nyton (1 mile east), Norton (1 mile north), Westergate (1 mile east), East Hampnett (1 mile north-west) and Crockerhill (1 mile north). We also work in nearby towns such as Worthing (13 miles east), Bognor Regis (3 miles south), Chichester (4 miles west), Selsey (9 miles south-west), Littlehampton (7 miles east) and Emsworth (11 miles west).
Near you in Aldingbourne
Around Aldingbourne, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Ormiston Six Villages Academy. Aldingbourne’s nearest station is Barnham station, about 2.1 miles east of the centre. A little further out are The Chichester City Museum (3.9 miles west) and Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (3.3 miles south).
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
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 records stay tidy.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Aldingbourne
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, building up layer by layer.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital, about 3.3 miles south, is the nearest hospital to Aldingbourne, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What insurance they carry
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Aldingbourne
Will you come out to Aldingbourne?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Aldingbourne included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you clean school ventilation in Aldingbourne during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Aldingbourne. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Can you clean without disrupting the building?
Yes. Evening, overnight and weekend work is all possible, so the building keeps running in the day.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. Cleaning the unit and ducts together often makes sense, and we can survey both on the same visit.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A system that is undersized for the building
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
