Common questions in Bognor Regis
Can ventilation in schools around Bognor Regis be cleaned out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 26 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Bognor Regis. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you do AHU cleaning in Bognor Regis?
Yes, Bognor Regis is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day of the survey details.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes, while the clean is under way. Out-of-hours work is available to keep disruption down.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bognor Regis
An air handling unit is the heart of a building’s ventilation: air is pulled in, filtered, conditioned and sent out through the ducts. Anything that collects inside the unit can end up in the rooms it serves, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. We’re often asked to deal with dirty filters cutting the airflow and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, on drain trays, internal panels and filter sections.
A place as big as Bognor Regis has offices, schools and hotels, many with ducted supply and extract ventilation. Dust in a supply duct ends up in the air people breathe, so TR19® Air cleaning follows an inspection.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

There are about 26 schools, colleges and universities, about 40 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 10 hotels and B&Bs on the FSA’s food hygiene register within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bognor Regis. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. For Bognor Regis, the closest hospital is Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital, roughly 0.5 miles east. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too. At about 55 miles from central London, Bognor Regis sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (about 0.5 miles east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts. If you manage a school such as The Regis School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays. If you manage shops or offices close to Bognor Regis station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.

How the job changes from site to site
Filters
Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. We check them, and clean or change them as agreed in the quote, and clean the filter housing.
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
If you need AHU cleaning in Bognor Regis, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.

How it 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. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Town-centre sites in a place like Bognor Regis can be tight for parking, so it helps to know the options in advance.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Why act early in Bognor Regis
Facilities teams are often asked for evidence that the ventilation is looked after. Our certificate and photo report give you clear evidence, ready to show anyone who asks. Several systems on one site in Bognor Regis are simpler to look after when the dates are set in advance.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why us?
- We’re fully insured
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
Stick to the filter change schedule, because good filters protect everything downstream. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
Honest limits
AHU cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
