East Sussex · Air handling unit cleaning
Brightling AHU cleaning
One call covers air handling unit cleaning in Brightling, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
Why act early in Brightling
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. The result is extra wear and a building that does not feel as comfortable, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

AHU cleaning in Brightling, done properly
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins aren’t flattened. Typical jobs include debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and filters that are clogged or overdue, on internal panels, drain trays and dampers and louvres.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
What you pay 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.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
What the work involves, part by part
Drain trays
Standing water in a tray sits right where the air passes. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
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.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Brightling.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
Get a fixed quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Advice
Questions from Brightling
Can the work in Brightling be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you do AHU cleaning in Brightling?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Brightling is part of that. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us what needs doing.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes, supply and extract ducts, grilles and diffusers. We’ll tell you after the survey whether the ducts need it.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we will survey first.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. 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.
