What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
About our AHU cleaning in Ashton Green
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with pictures, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. If you are dealing with dust-coated heating and cooling coils and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, we can put it right.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can quote for both.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due instead of leaving it to guesswork.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Ashton Green.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

AHU cleaning around Ashton Green
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 3 schools, colleges and universities serving food across Ashton Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. For Ashton Green, the closest hospital is Lewes Victoria Hospital, roughly 3.8 miles west. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale. We cover Ashton Green, about 43 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Ringmer Primary and Nursery School are easiest to work in when pupils are away. Lewes Victoria Hospital, about 3.8 miles west, is the nearest hospital to Ashton Green, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Building management system faults
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Dampers and louvres
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
Why act early in Ashton Green
Standing water in a drain tray doesn’t clear itself. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. A fault that closes a site in a village like Ashton Green affects everyone who depends on it.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why us?
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Ashton Green
Can a school’s ventilation in Ashton Green be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Ashton Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Is Ashton Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
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 will talk you through the next steps.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Typically, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
Under TR19® Air, cleaning is led by inspection and risk rather than a set calendar. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes, supply and extract ducts, grilles and diffusers. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Ashton Green
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What affects the quote in Ashton Green
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
