What affects the quote in Almodington
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
AHU cleaning in Almodington, done properly
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, right in the path of the air going into the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. The work covers internal panels, supply and extract fans and drain trays, and common reasons people get in touch are fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned.
Somewhere as small as Almodington, ducted ventilation is normally 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to confirm water is draining away.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Questions from Almodington
Do you work at weekends in Almodington?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Almodington in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Almodington. You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
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 quote is based on that.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. Any faults we notice are recorded for your maintenance team to follow up.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Do you work in Almodington?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Almodington included.

What the work involves, part by part
Fans and fan sections
The fan section is cleaned with the unit switched off and isolated with your site team.
Drain trays
The drain tray collects water from the cooling coil. We clear standing water, clean out slime and check the outlet is draining.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Almodington?
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
For schools like Birdham CE Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
