About our AHU cleaning in Capel Cross
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. We look at the unit first, from photos or a site visit, and send you a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. The work covers supply and extract fans, filter sections and dampers and louvres, and the jobs we see most are dirty filters cutting the airflow and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Questions from Capel Cross
Can you clean school ventilation in Capel Cross during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Capel Cross, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Do you cover smaller places like Capel Cross?
Yes. Capel Cross is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
What do you clean inside the unit?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from intake to discharge, including coils, fan and drain trays. The photo report shows each section before and after.
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 fixed quote is built on it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Ventilation in Capel Cross buildings
We cover Capel Cross, about 34 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Horsmonden Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away. An inspection comes first for any ventilation job around Capel Cross, so the cleaning matches what’s there.

How it works
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. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Capel Cross and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Make sure condensate is draining away
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can quote for both.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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 also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Capel Cross and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Leave it or put it right?
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 clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. The intake section gets particular attention.
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.
What AHU cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A system that is undersized for the building
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Building management system faults
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
