How the job changes from site to site
Drain trays
Drain trays can rust and leak over time. Their condition goes into the report with photos so you can decide on any repairs.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. We plan safe access as part of the survey, before we quote.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bessels Green
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. The work covers internal panels, dampers and louvres and drain trays, and the jobs we see most are plant that has been serviced but not cleaned and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years.
For a building in or near Bessels Green, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bessels Green
Standing water in a drain tray doesn’t clear itself. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Bessels Green is calmer for everyone.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

FAQs for Bessels Green
Do you cover smaller places like Bessels Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bessels Green included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to Bessels Green after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes, supply and extract ducts, grilles and diffusers. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, so we plan it for a time that suits the building.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.

Parts of the system we cover
- Dampers and louvres
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Bessels Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
