How we handle AHU cleaning in Doddington
We clean air handling units for buildings in Doddington and across Kent, working to TR19® Air, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. The work covers internal panels, drain trays and filter sections, and the jobs we see most are blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and filters that are clogged or overdue.
Somewhere as small as Doddington, ducted ventilation is normally 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Doddington can be planned properly.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
Doddington questions
Will you come out to Doddington?
Yes. Doddington is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work at weekends in Doddington?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Doddington doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, with any faults we noticed.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
That is set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Doddington
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Any permits to work or inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Why deal with it now?
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, particularly where damp has made it stick. Planning a trip to Doddington ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, and note any part we couldn’t get to. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Doddington
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray doesn’t fall properly, water stands in it, and slime and smells soon follow.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Dirty fans and fan housings
Whether the building is in Doddington itself or nearby, filters, coils, drain trays and ducts are all part of the work.
