Managing agents and facilities teams in Crockerhill
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
About our AHU cleaning in Crockerhill
Our AHU cleans for sites in Crockerhill cover the parts that collect dirt: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. We’re often asked to deal with air handling units due a clean after building work and dust-coated heating and cooling coils, on heating and cooling coils, internal panels and filter sections.
Somewhere as small as Crockerhill, 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.
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.

AHU cleaning in Crockerhill: local notes
There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities and about 8 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises on the FSA’s food hygiene register within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Crockerhill. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. About 3.7 miles west of Crockerhill is Chichester Centre, the nearest hospital. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients. Crockerhill is about 51 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Crockerhill, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Chichester Centre (about 3.7 miles west). For schools like Tangmere Primary Academy, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. The timing of a visit to Crockerhill is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system

What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, particularly where damp has made it stick. Somewhere as small as Crockerhill, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

Different parts, different methods
Filters
Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
Fans and fan sections
The fan section is cleaned with the unit switched off and isolated in agreement with the site.
Crockerhill: your questions answered
Do you clean school ventilation in Crockerhill in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Crockerhill, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can the work in Crockerhill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Crockerhill keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Crockerhill?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, including anything we think needs attention.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
