AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bradwell on Sea
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. The work covers drain trays, heating and cooling coils and supply and extract fans, and people most often call us about condensate trays that won’t empty and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.

What affects the quote in Bradwell on Sea
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The times the site is available
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Where the site is and how we reach it
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. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Somewhere as small as Bradwell on Sea, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
Part by part
Fans and fan sections
The fan moves all of the unit’s air, so dirt on it gets spread around. We clean the impeller, housing and surrounding section.
Drain trays
The drain tray collects water from the cooling coil. Standing water and slime are removed and the outlet is checked.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What we are called out for in Bradwell on Sea
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Odours coming through the supply air
An inspection comes first for any ventilation job around Bradwell on Sea, so the cleaning matches what’s there.
