AHU cleaning in Arundel
Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: it draws air in, filters it, heats or cools it and pushes it round the ductwork. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. Typical jobs include dirty coils holding back the airflow and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs, on internal panels, heating and cooling coils and supply and extract fans.
Smaller buildings around Arundel often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, where they’re easy to forget. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why it’s worth doing now in Arundel
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 clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. Around Arundel, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Arundel.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Arundel
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Arundel and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Arundel
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What the work involves, part by part
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. We protect the area below before opening them.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: 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.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Arundel
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, a little more each month.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Arundel and District Hospital (about within half a mile north-west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
