How we handle AHU cleaning in Angmering-on-Sea
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. Common call-outs are for dirty fans and fan housings and dust-coated heating and cooling coils, across heating and cooling coils, filter sections and dampers and louvres.
Work in a small place like Angmering-on-Sea starts with agreeing access and timings.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How the job changes from site to site
Drain trays
A tray that doesn’t drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and note if the slope or the drain needs attention.
Internal casing and panels
We open each section through its doors and close them securely when we’re done before the unit is handed back.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Angmering-on-Sea
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
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. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
FAQs for Angmering-on-Sea
Can a school’s ventilation in Angmering-on-Sea be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Angmering-on-Sea, the Food Standards Agency lists about 12 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you come to Angmering-on-Sea after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Angmering-on-Sea needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
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.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What happens if it’s left?
Standing water in a drain tray does not clear itself. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
