AHU cleaning across Brighton and Hove: what to expect
Our AHU cleaning covers sites across Brighton and Hove, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. Typical jobs include air handling units with blocked filters and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned, on drain trays, heating and cooling coils and internal panels.
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.
How we quote
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

AHU cleaning across Brighton and Hove: local notes
Our AHU cleaning work across Brighton and Hove takes in places such as Brighton, Hove and Carlton Hill and well beyond. Every place on our Brighton and Hove list (30 in all) is covered, with work planned out of hours where buildings stay in use.
Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites across Brighton and Hove don’t have to lose a day. In the coastal parts of Brighton and Hove, salt air and damp are hard on ductwork, fans and dampers, which is worth knowing when systems are inspected.
Brighton: If you manage offices or shops near London Road (Brighton) station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours. Classrooms and halls at schools such as Fairlight Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due instead of leaving it to guesswork.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Common problems we fix in Brighton and Hove
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
What the work involves, part by part
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. We clean the impeller, housing and surrounding section.
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. We clean them with care so the fins aren’t damaged.
Questions from Brighton and Hove
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Brighton and Hove?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
There’s no single answer; it comes down to the building and the unit. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and the report recommends a next date.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We’ll flag anything we notice during the clean.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
