AHU cleaning in Brook Street, done properly
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins are not flattened. If you have debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, we can put it right, from drain trays, filter sections and supply and extract fans onwards.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Brook Street.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What else we do in Brook Street
When to call us in Brook Street
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it does not always include cleaning the inside. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
Wherever a school like Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether they’re fully insured
Why it’s worth doing now in Brook Street
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, especially where there’s been moisture. If the system at a site near Brook Street fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What you get with us

- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001

What the work involves, part by part
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Brook Street
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Brook Street and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Food Standards Agency records list about 3 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises registered as food businesses across Brook Street and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half).

Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. For Brook Street, the closest hospital is St Francis Hospital, roughly 3.1 miles south-east.

Common questions in Brook Street
Can you get to a site in Brook Street?
Yes, Brook Street is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work overnight in Brook Street?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Brook Street can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
The main parts are the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and inside of the casing. The survey confirms what’s in your unit before we quote.
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.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
Expect it to take half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. The unit’s size and condition make the biggest difference, and the quote will give you a clear idea.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes, while the clean is under way. We can work evenings, overnight or at weekends to keep disruption down.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to confirm water is draining away.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
