About our AHU cleaning in Cuxton
An air handling unit is the heart of a building’s ventilation: air is pulled in, filtered, conditioned and sent out through the ducts. Anything that collects inside the unit can end up in the rooms it serves, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. Typical jobs include debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and stale or musty smells from the ventilation, on supply and extract fans, filter sections and dampers and louvres.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Every 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.

How the job changes from site to site
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe with your site team.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. We plan safe access as part of the survey so the quote reflects it.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Cuxton
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

When you call or email, these details help:
- A few general shots of the system

If you need AHU cleaning in Cuxton, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Medway. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Ventilation in Cuxton buildings
There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities and about 3 care, childcare and hospital premises on the FSA’s food hygiene register in and around Cuxton, up to about a mile and a half out. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. At about 25 miles from central London, Cuxton sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. About 2.4 miles east of Cuxton is French Hospital, the nearest hospital. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.
Healthcare buildings such as French Hospital, about 2.4 miles east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Cuxton, yours matters too. For schools like Cuxton Community Infant School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation. If you manage shops or offices close to Cuxton station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.

What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Building management system faults
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
Why it’s worth doing now in Cuxton
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Why us?
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- We diagnose before we treat
- A written report with pictures after every visit

How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Cuxton knowing what to expect.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- 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.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Common questions in Cuxton
Can the work in Cuxton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in villages like Cuxton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
All the internal parts the air touches, from intake to discharge, including coils, fan and drain trays. The photo report shows each section before and after.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
