Questions from Bredhurst
Can the work in Bredhurst be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Bredhurst can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can a school’s ventilation in Bredhurst be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Bredhurst. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
Is Bredhurst in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Bredhurst.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What about areas you can’t get to?
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.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes, for the time we’re working on it. We can work evenings, overnight or at weekends to keep disruption down.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How long does an AHU clean take?
It takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Size, layout and how dirty it is decide the rest, and we’ll confirm the time when we quote.
AHU cleaning in Bredhurst
Our AHU cleans for sites in Bredhurst cover the parts that collect dirt: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. We are often asked to deal with fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and units that have only ever had filter changes, across internal panels, filter sections and supply and extract fans.
For a building in or near Bredhurst, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

More services for Bredhurst
Do you need AHU cleaning in Bredhurst?
Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. It’s easy for a long time to go by without anyone opening the panels.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Air handling units with blocked filters
School buildings such as Deanwood Primary School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What hours they’ll be on site
Different parts, different methods
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. We note any we find in the report.
Drain trays
Condensate from the coil drips into a tray beneath it. Standing water and slime are removed and the outlet is checked.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Bredhurst
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Bredhurst can be planned properly.
- 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, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area
Get a fixed quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, taking into account how dirty it was. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
