Arundel and District Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 4.5 miles south-west of Cross Gate.

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Cross Gate
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. If you’re dealing with leaves and litter drawn into the unit and coils clogged with dust and debris, we can help, from supply and extract fans, drain trays and internal panels onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Cross Gate, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Book the next check in line with the report
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
Cross Gate: your questions answered
Do you cover Cross Gate for AHU cleaning?
Yes, Cross Gate is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Get in touch with the details and we will arrange a survey.
Is Cross Gate within the area you cover?
Yes, Cross Gate is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, including anything we think needs attention.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. The fan must be stopped and the unit isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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. The inside of ducts and units needs 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. Leave those to us.
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Cross Gate can be planned properly.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area
Get a fixed quote
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, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
What we are called out for in Cross Gate
No filter stops everything. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, a little more each month.
Look out for any of the following:
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Odours coming through the supply air
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Cross Gate, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Arundel and District Hospital (about 4.5 miles south-west).
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Proof of insurance
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor

What else we do in Cross Gate
Why act early in Cross Gate
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. In a small place like Cross Gate, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

What affects the quote in Cross Gate
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
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.
