Our AHU cleaning service in East Sussex

Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, in the airstream that feeds the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. Typical jobs include units that have only ever had filter changes and odours coming through the supply air, on dampers and louvres, internal panels and supply and extract fans.

We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones.

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 pictures and issue the certificate and report.

What affects the price in East Sussex

Where we work in East Sussex

Our AHU cleaning work across East Sussex takes in places such as Eastbourne, Hastings and Bexhill-on-Sea and well beyond. We cover every place we list for East Sussex, 289 in all, with work planned out of hours where buildings stay in use.

From central London kitchens to coastal hotels and country pubs, London and the South East have every kind of site. Wherever the site is in East Sussex, the work is done to the same TR19® standard. Along the coast in East Sussex, many hotels, pubs and cafés are at their busiest in the summer, so it pays to book work around the busy season.

Eastbourne: Wherever a school like Stafford Junior School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time. For workplaces around Hampden Park station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends.

Looking after it afterwards

So the system stays in good health:

Report musty smells from the vents straight away
Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
Note any water around the unit or leaks below it

The report shows each section of the unit before and after, along with anything we couldn’t reach. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.

Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.

When it’s something else

We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:

Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings

Part by part

Heating and cooling coils

A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.

Drain trays

Standing water in a tray sits right where the air passes. We clean it and note if the slope or the drain needs attention.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.

If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

What we are called out for in East Sussex

An AHU’s intake draws in outdoor air and everything in it: dust, pollen, leaves and debris. Most of it lands at the intake and the first stage of filters, and the finer material travels on.

If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:

Filters that are clogged or overdue
Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned

Questions from East Sussex

Can you clean without disrupting the building?

Yes. The clean is planned around when the unit can be switched off. Healthcare and care settings are planned with staff.

Will the ventilation be off while you clean?

Yes, while the clean is under way. We can work evenings, overnight or at weekends to keep disruption down.

Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?

Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, with any faults we noticed.

Is East Sussex in your area?

Yes. East Sussex is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.

Can you fix a faulty AHU?

AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.

Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?

Yes, the ductwork, grilles and diffusers the unit serves. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.

What does TR19 mean?

It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
