About our AHU cleaning in Cranbrook Common
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, in the airstream that feeds the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. If you’re dealing with dirty coils holding back the airflow and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, we can help.
For a building in or near Cranbrook Common, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Why deal with it now?
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. The result is extra wear and a building that does not feel as comfortable, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. A fault that closes a site in a village like Cranbrook Common affects everyone who depends on it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why book with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
- In business since 2009

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Visits to a village like Cranbrook Common are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- 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.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
