Managing agents and facilities teams in Chartham
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Chartham
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins are not flattened. The work covers filter sections, internal panels and drain trays, and people most often call us about air handling units due a clean after building work and dust built up on fan impellers.
In a village or hamlet like Chartham, 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 have been trading since 2009.

How we price AHU cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures 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.
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Chartham
Do you work overnight in Chartham?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Chartham does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover smaller places like Chartham?
Yes. Chartham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes, both a certificate and a report with pictures. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we normally come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we will survey first.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We will flag anything we notice during the clean.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What AHU cleaning looks like in Chartham
About 51 miles out from central London, Chartham is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Kent and Canterbury Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 3.1 miles east of Chartham. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.
If you run an office near Chartham station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside. Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Kent and Canterbury Hospital (about 3.1 miles east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
Chartham is about 3 miles south-west of Canterbury, in Kent. Every kind of commercial site in Chartham, we can take on AHU cleaning. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. Chartham is one of 922 towns, villages and districts in Kent where we work for AHU cleaning. Our Maidstone page covers sites nearby (21 miles or so).
Work in CT4 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. If you need AHU cleaning at premises on Station Road, River Court and The Green or anywhere close by, our technicians can take on the work. If your site is just outside Chartham, we cover Shalmsford Street (1 mile south), Mystole (1 mile south-west), Chartham Hatch (1 mile north), Garlinge Green (2 miles south) and Thanington (2 miles north-east).

Near you in Chartham
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around No Man's Orchard and The Artichoke Inn. There’s a railway station in Chartham itself: Chartham station. A little further out are Chilham Castle (2.7 miles west) and Whitefriars Shopping Centre (3.1 miles north-east). Open spaces near Chartham include Blean Woods RSPB Reserve.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a small place like Chartham, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Chartham
Filters that are not changed or cleaned on time clog up, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Chartham Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
When we’ve closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to make sure it stays clear.
Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
