About our AHU cleaning in Battle
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, with the unit switched off and made safe first. If you are dealing with dirty filters cutting the airflow and leaves and litter drawn into the unit, we can put it right, from filter sections, internal panels and supply and extract fans onwards.
For a building near Battle, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The method doesn’t change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
Stick to the filter change schedule, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due instead of leaving it to guesswork.
When to call us in Battle
Filters that are not changed or cleaned on time clog up, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
Workplaces around Battle station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.

How the job changes from site to site
Fans and fan sections
Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
Drain trays
The drain tray collects water from the cooling coil. Standing water and slime are removed and the outlet is checked.

FAQs for Battle
Do you work overnight in Battle?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Battle can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you clean school ventilation in Battle during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Battle, the Food Standards Agency lists about 5 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can quote for both.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Battle
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Ventilation in Battle buildings
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 5 schools, colleges and universities and about 5 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises serving food across Battle and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. At about 47 miles from central London, Battle sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. For Battle, the closest hospital is Conquest Hospital, roughly 4.3 miles south-east. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.
For schools like Battle and Langton Church of England Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Battle, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Conquest Hospital (about 4.3 miles south-east).

Why it’s worth doing now in Battle
Standing water in a drain tray does not clear itself. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. Booking now means the visit to Battle is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
