AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Davington
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with photos, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. The work covers heating and cooling coils, drain trays and supply and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and dust built up on fan impellers.
In a smaller place like Davington, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Different parts, different methods
Drain trays
Standing water in a tray sits right where the air passes. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
Filters
Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
What we are called out for in Davington
Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids, so they’re easy to forget about. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
Workplaces around Faversham station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.
Before booking anyone
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Proof of insurance
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What affects the quote in Davington
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, and note any part we couldn’t get to. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
Leave it or put it right?
Tenants, auditors and owners may want proof that the air handling plant is kept clean. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, ready to show anyone who asks. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Davington at a time that suits you.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
