AHU cleaning in Boughton under Blean
Where a building in Boughton under Blean has had little more than filter changes, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. The work covers supply and extract fans, filter sections and heating and cooling coils, and people most often call us about rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and dirty fans and fan housings.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

Do you work at weekends in Boughton under Blean?

Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
We clean the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and internal casing. Filters are cleaned or changed as agreed in the quote.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
That’s set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes, for the time we’re working on it. Out-of-hours work is available so the building is not left without ventilation when it’s busy.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Different parts, different methods
Filters
Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and the housing around them is cleaned too.
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
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 filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
Why act early in Boughton under Blean
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. A planned visit to Boughton under Blean is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
