Our AHU cleaning service in Medway
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 odours coming through the supply air, across drain trays, dampers and louvres and filter sections.
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.

Local landmarks in Gillingham
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Robert Napier School, Featherby Junior School and The Robert Napier School and the streets around them. Nearby too are Holy Trinity Church (under half a mile north-east), The Star pub (0.6 miles west) and Ambley Wood (0.8 miles south). Gillingham’s nearest station is Gillingham (Kent) station, roughly 1.5 miles north-west of the centre. A little further out are Medway Maritime Hospital (1.6 miles west) and Six Poor Travellers House (3.3 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Blue Bell Hill and Bishop Saltings.
Where we work in Medway
Buildings across Medway range from large sites with several air handling units to small units in a roof space. Filters, coils, drain trays and ducts all need attention, whatever the size.
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 Medway, the work is done to the same TR19® standard. Parts of Medway are on or near the coast, where salt air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings. Fans and cowls on sea-facing roofs are worth checking at each visit.
Gillingham: Hospitals such as Medway Maritime Hospital (about 1.6 miles west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Gillingham are no different. Classrooms and halls at schools such as Featherby Junior School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
What AHU cleaning can’t fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what AHU cleaning will not do:
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Building management system faults
Different parts, different methods
Drain trays
A tray that does not drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. The intake section gets particular attention.
What we are called out for in Medway
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray doesn’t fall properly, water stands in it, and slime and smells soon follow.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, based on what we found. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Don’t let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
What affects the quote in Medway
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
For AHU cleaning in Medway, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
Medway questions
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How long will the unit be out of action?
Expect it to take one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. The unit’s size and condition make the biggest difference, and the quote will give you a clear idea.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
