For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Barcombe Cross
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 photos, so the report shows exactly what was done. Typical jobs include debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and units that have only ever had filter changes, across drain trays, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils.
In a village or hamlet like Barcombe Cross, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Book the next check in line with the report
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.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.
Barcombe Cross: your questions answered
Is AHU cleaning available in Barcombe Cross?
Yes, Barcombe Cross is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Get in touch with the details and we’ll arrange a survey.
Is Barcombe Cross within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Barcombe Cross included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How long does an AHU clean take?
The work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Bigger units can be phased, so call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email to talk it through.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Common problems we fix in Barcombe Cross
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
If you manage a school such as Barcombe Church of England Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the quote shows VAT
What happens if it’s left?
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in Barcombe Cross can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. A fault that closes a site in a village like Barcombe Cross affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

- Trading since 2009
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

AHU cleaning around Barcombe Cross
About 3.6 miles south of Barcombe Cross is Lewes Victoria Hospital, the nearest hospital. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients. We cover Barcombe Cross, about 40 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Lewes Victoria Hospital (about 3.6 miles south) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
What AHU cleaning cannot fix
AHU cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Building management system faults
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Supply and extract fans

What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Barcombe Cross.

- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
