West Sussex · Air handling unit cleaning
Climping AHU cleaning
Professional AHU cleaning in and around Climping, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Odours coming through the supply air
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
When we have 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.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
AHU cleaning in Climping, done properly
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. If you are dealing with condensate trays that won’t empty and odours coming through the supply air, we can help, from dampers and louvres, supply and extract fans and filter sections onwards.
Somewhere as small as Climping, ducted ventilation is usually 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the job changes from site to site
Rooftop and plant room units
Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.
Filters
Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and clean the filter housing.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Climping?
Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
Healthcare buildings such as Arundel and District Hospital, about 3 miles north, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Climping, yours matters too.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Climping.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures 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 pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

What else we do in Climping
Climping: your questions answered
Can you come to Climping after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Climping can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Climping?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Climping included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with pictures where it helps.
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.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes, the ductwork, grilles and diffusers the unit serves. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.
What do you clean inside the unit?
We clean the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and internal casing. Filters are cleaned or changed as agreed in the quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Why deal with it now?
Standing water in a drain tray does not clear itself. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. Somewhere as small as Climping, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Why Climping businesses choose us
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Fully insured
- A written report with photos after every visit

Ventilation in Climping buildings
There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities, about 22 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses on the FSA’s food hygiene register in Climping and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. For Climping, the closest hospital is Arundel and District Hospital, roughly 3 miles north. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital. We cover Climping, about 52 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.
If you manage a school such as St Mary's CofE Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

How we price AHU cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
