West Sussex · Air handling unit cleaning
AHU Cleaning in Bedham
We cover Bedham for cleaning of air handling units, including filters, coils, drain trays, fans and internal surfaces. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
AHU cleaning in Bedham
We clean air handling units for buildings in Bedham and across West Sussex, working to TR19® Air, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. Common call-outs are for drain trays holding standing water and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, on internal panels, drain trays and dampers and louvres.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Stick to the filter change plan
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to make sure it stays clear.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
Part by part
Fans and fan sections
The fan moves all of the unit’s air, so dirt on it gets spread around. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.
Rooftop and plant room units
Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.

What else we do in Bedham
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Bedham before we set off.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos 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.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Bedham
Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
For schools like Fittleworth CofE Village School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

Bedham: your questions answered
Can you come to Bedham after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Bedham keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you clean school ventilation in Bedham in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Bedham. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
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.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Internal panels
- Heating and cooling coils

Ventilation in Bedham buildings

Ventilation work in and around Bedham is risk-based: inspect, then clean what needs it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bedham
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, especially where there’s been moisture. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
