AHU cleaning in Argos Hill
Where a building in Argos Hill has had little more than filter changes, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. If you are dealing with plant that needs cleaning after a refit and stale or musty smells from the ventilation, we can put it right, from filter sections, dampers and louvres and internal panels onwards.
Somewhere as small as Argos Hill, ducted ventilation is typically 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Argos Hill can be planned properly.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote

Argos Hill questions
Is AHU cleaning available in Argos Hill?
Yes, we work in Argos Hill and the places around it. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with a few details of the site.
Will you come out to Argos Hill?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Argos Hill included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
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.
How long does an AHU clean take?
It takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. The unit’s size and condition make the biggest difference, and we will confirm the time when we quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
We clean the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and internal casing. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and the report recommends a next date.

What happens if it’s left?
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Argos Hill is calmer for everyone.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

How we price AHU cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
What AHU cleaning cannot fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what AHU cleaning won’t do:
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Book the next check in line with the report
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we’ve finished. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to confirm water is draining away.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
What the work involves, part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Heating and cooling coils have tightly packed fins that trap fine dust. We clean them with care so the fins are not damaged.
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
