AHU Cleaning in Cade Street
Cleaning of air handling units, including filters, coils, drain trays, fans and internal surfaces for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Cade Street. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Drain trays holding standing water
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
AHU cleaning in Cade Street
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. Typical jobs include dirty fans and fan housings and dirty coils holding back the airflow, across filter sections, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils.
For a building in or near Cade Street, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and 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.

Part by part
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. We photograph them for the report.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Somewhere as small as Cade Street, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- 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
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Cade Street questions
Can you come to Cade Street after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Cade Street does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Is AHU cleaning available in Cade Street?
Yes, Cade Street is within the area we cover across London and the South East. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few photos of the system.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
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 is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What AHU cleaning cannot fix
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Internal panels
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
Managing agents and facilities teams in Cade Street
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Cade Street and across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Cade Street?
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Heathfield Community College are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
How we price AHU cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Ventilation in Cade Street buildings
There are about 3 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of central Cade Street. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. About 5.5 miles south of Cade Street is Hellingly Hospital, the nearest hospital. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too. Cade Street, about 40 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Hellingly Hospital (about 5.5 miles south) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
