AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Barton on Sea
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures in a report. The work covers internal panels, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils, and people most often call us about debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and condensate trays that won’t empty.
For a building near Barton on Sea, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
Think of the report as the 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.

What affects the quote in Barton on Sea
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The size of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The times the site is available
- How many systems or sites are involved
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.

BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

When to call us in Barton on Sea
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and that’s where slime and odours start.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
Wherever a school like New Milton Infant School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them, and we clear up before we go. A site near Barton on Sea usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- 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.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
