About our AHU cleaning in Aldington Frith
We clean air handling units for buildings in Aldington Frith and across Kent, working to TR19® Air, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. The work covers dampers and louvres, supply and extract fans and internal panels, and the jobs we see most are drain trays holding standing water and air handling units with blocked filters.
Somewhere as small as Aldington Frith, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
Common questions in Aldington Frith
Can you come to Aldington Frith after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Aldington Frith does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.

Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Aldington Frith?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
How long does an AHU clean take?
Expect it to take anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. The unit’s size and condition make the biggest difference, and we will confirm the time when we quote.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Common problems we fix in Aldington Frith
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray does not fall properly, water stands in it, and slime and smells soon follow.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
Healthcare buildings such as William Harvey Hospital, about 3.2 miles north, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Aldington Frith, yours matters too.

What AHU cleaning looks like in Aldington Frith
About 52 miles out from central London, Aldington Frith is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. For Aldington Frith, the closest hospital is William Harvey Hospital, roughly 3.2 miles north. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.
Ventilation work in and around Aldington Frith is risk-based: inspect, then clean what needs it.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
How we price AHU cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Part by part
Drain trays
Standing water in a tray sits right where the air passes. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. We photograph them for the report.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Visits to a village like Aldington Frith are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
