- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Make sure condensate is draining away
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we’ve finished. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to confirm water is draining away.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due instead of leaving it to guesswork.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Crowhurst
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Crowhurst and the rest of East Sussex, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. If you’re dealing with fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and coils clogged with dust and debris, we can put it right, from internal panels, heating and cooling coils and filter sections onwards.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Common questions in Crowhurst
Do you cover Crowhurst for AHU cleaning?
Yes, Crowhurst is covered. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with a few pictures of the system.
Do you cover smaller places like Crowhurst?
Yes, Crowhurst is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes, while the clean is under way. Out-of-hours work is available to keep disruption down.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report also suggests when the unit should next be inspected.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Part by part
Fans and fan sections
The fan moves all of the unit’s air, so dirt on it gets spread around. We clean the impeller, housing and surrounding section.
Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.
Leave it or put it right?
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, particularly where damp has made it stick. Somewhere as small as Crowhurst, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What AHU cleaning looks like in Crowhurst
Food Standards Agency data includes about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses across Crowhurst and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. About 50 miles out from central London, Crowhurst is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Bexhill Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 2.8 miles south-west of Crowhurst. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.
School buildings such as Crowhurst CofE Primary School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed. For workplaces around Crowhurst station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Crowhurst, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Bexhill Hospital (about 2.8 miles south-west).

What a clean won’t put right

- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
- Internal panels
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the AHU cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Crowhurst run smoothly.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
What affects the quote in Crowhurst
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
