AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Chartwell Green
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, with the unit switched off and made safe first. The work covers heating and cooling coils, drain trays and dampers and louvres, and the jobs we see most are dirty fans and fan housings and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake.
In a smaller place like Chartwell Green, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Chartwell Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Chartwell Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Chartwell Green included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you come to Chartwell Green after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with the details in the report.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, and any sections we cannot reach are noted in the report, with new panels fitted where necessary.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, including anything we think needs attention.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Chartwell Green
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray doesn’t fall properly, water stands in it, and slime and smells soon follow.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Chartwell Green, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Moorgreen Hospital (about 1.2 miles east).

Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. They’re cleaned using methods that will not bend or flatten the fins.
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.
Leave it or put it right?
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt does not stay put. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, which is why the unit and the ducts are best cleaned together. Even a site near Chartwell Green that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
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 will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Chartwell Green
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
