How we handle AHU cleaning in Chillenden
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Chillenden and the rest of Kent, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. The work covers internal panels, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils, and people most often call us about dust-coated heating and cooling coils and drain trays holding standing water.
For a building in or near Chillenden, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Make sure condensate is draining away
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due, rather than waiting for a problem.

When to call us in Chillenden
Whatever surrounds a building in Chillenden, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and the finer material travels on.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
Ventilation work in and around Chillenden is risk-based: inspect, then clean what needs it.
What your quote should include
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What paperwork you get at the end

Questions from Chillenden
Do you cover Chillenden for AHU cleaning?
Yes, Chillenden is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day of the survey details.
Can you come to Chillenden after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Chillenden keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Different parts, different methods
Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Chillenden before we set off.
- 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.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
