What the work involves, part by part
Drain trays
Drain trays can rust and leak over time. We record their condition with pictures so repairs can be planned.
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Broadbridge Heath
An air handling unit is the heart of a building’s ventilation: air is pulled in, filtered, conditioned and sent out through the ducts. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. We’re often asked to deal with rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and dirty fans and fan housings, on drain trays, dampers and louvres and internal panels.
In a place like Broadbridge Heath, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, where they’re easy to forget. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Broadbridge Heath
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.

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.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, including anything we think needs attention.

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you work with multi-site operators?

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. On site, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. In a place like Broadbridge Heath, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Before we arrive

- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Common problems we fix in Broadbridge Heath
Whatever surrounds a building in Broadbridge Heath, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and the finer material travels on.
What we are most often called out for:
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Dust built up on fan impellers
Healthcare buildings such as Horsham Hospital, about 1.7 miles east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Broadbridge Heath, yours matters too.

How we price AHU cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we have finished. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to confirm water is draining away.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
