Air handling unit cleaning in Ashurst, Kent
We cover Ashurst for air handling unit cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures on every job.
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
How the job changes from site to site
Heating and cooling coils
Cooling coils stay damp in use, so dirt on them can turn sticky. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.
Fans and fan sections
The fan moves all of the unit’s air, so dirt on it gets spread around. We clean the impeller, housing and surrounding section.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Ashurst
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. If you are dealing with units that have only ever had filter changes and dust built up on fan impellers, we can help, from supply and extract fans, dampers and louvres and drain trays onwards.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Ashurst questions
Do you work in villages like Ashurst?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Ashurst included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you do AHU cleaning in Ashurst?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ashurst is part of that. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few photos of the system.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
What do you clean inside the unit?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. The photo report shows each section before and after.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
How we price AHU cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Ashurst
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Tunbridge Wells Homeopathic Hospital (about 4.4 miles east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get at the end
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Ashurst can be planned properly.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What happens if it’s left?
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. The result is extra wear and a building that doesn’t feel as comfortable, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. If the system at a site near Ashurst fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
