About our AHU cleaning in Ashbank
We clean air handling units for buildings in Ashbank and across Kent, working to TR19® Air, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. The work covers supply and extract fans, dampers and louvres and internal panels, and people most often call us about filters that are clogged or overdue and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris.
For a building in or near Ashbank, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Ashbank
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
School buildings such as Leeds and Broomfield Church of England Primary School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

Ashbank: your questions answered
Can a school’s ventilation in Ashbank be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Ashbank, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Is Ashbank within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Ashbank is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Ashbank?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. Cleaning the unit and ducts together often makes sense, and we can survey both on the same visit.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
- Dampers and louvres
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Record each change in the maintenance log.
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 staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ashbank
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. A fault that closes a site in a village like Ashbank affects everyone who depends on it.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts, and we clear up before we go. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Ashbank.
- 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.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
