How the job changes from site to site
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.
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. We check them, and clean or change them as agreed in the quote, and the housing around them is cleaned too.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Chithurst
Where a building in Chithurst has had little more than filter changes, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. Common call-outs are for air handling units never cleaned inside and condensate trays that won’t empty, across internal panels, filter sections and heating and cooling coils.
Somewhere as small as Chithurst, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Common questions in Chithurst
Can the work in Chithurst be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Chithurst needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Will you come out to Chithurst?
Yes, Chithurst is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
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.
How long does an AHU clean take?
Typically the clean takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. We plan the shutdown around that, including evenings or weekends.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. The timing of a visit to Chithurst is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
How we price AHU cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
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.

Leave it or put it right?
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. A planned visit to Chithurst is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Common problems we fix in Chithurst
No filter stops everything. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, building up layer by layer.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
Midhurst Community Hospital, about 2.9 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Chithurst, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.
