AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Allington
Our AHU cleans for sites in Allington cover the parts that collect dirt: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. If you have units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned, we can help.
In a smaller place like Allington, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
AHU cleaning in Allington: local notes
Food Standards Agency data includes about 27 schools, colleges and universities and about 35 care, childcare and hospital premises within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Allington. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. For Allington, the closest hospital is Maidstone Hospital, roughly 1 mile south-west. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital. About 29 miles out from central London, Allington is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Maidstone Hospital (about 1 mile south-west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts. If you manage shops or offices close to Barming station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.

Allington questions
Do you work overnight in Allington?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Allington can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Allington?
Yes. Allington is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
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 happens if it’s left?
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. The result is extra wear and a building that doesn’t feel as comfortable, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. A quieter site near Allington still needs its system looked after.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
Stick to the filter change schedule, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Your opening hours decide when we come to Allington, not ours.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Allington?
Whatever surrounds a building in Allington, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. Most of it lands at the intake and the first stage of filters, and some travels further into the unit.
Look out for any of the following:
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Allington Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
