How we handle AHU cleaning in Coxheath
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. If you have rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Coxheath, 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. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in Coxheath
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
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.
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Coxheath: your questions answered
Can you clean school ventilation in Coxheath during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 8 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Coxheath, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can the work in Coxheath be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Coxheath can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you work in Coxheath?
Yes. Coxheath is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
TR19® Air takes a risk-based approach, so it depends on inspection rather than a fixed interval. We recommend a next date in each report.

Part by part
Drain trays
A tray that doesn’t drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and note if the slope or the drain needs attention.
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.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. In a place like Coxheath, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, and note any part we couldn’t get to. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
