About our AHU cleaning in Broad Tenterden
Where a building in Broad Tenterden has had little more than filter changes, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full clean deals with all of it. Typical jobs include units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake, across filter sections, internal panels and heating and cooling coils.
In a village or hamlet like Broad Tenterden, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years

Questions from Broad Tenterden
Can you work in Broad Tenterden outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Broad Tenterden does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Is Broad Tenterden in your area for AHU cleaning?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Broad Tenterden included. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day of the survey details.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
As a guide, it takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. The shutdown is planned to fit, including evenings or weekends.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Are you accredited?
We’re 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.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Broad Tenterden can be planned properly.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
