About our AHU cleaning in Doleham
We clean air handling units for buildings in Doleham and across East Sussex, working to TR19® Air, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. If you have rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and coils clogged with dust and debris, we can help.
For a building in or near Doleham, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Common questions in Doleham
Can you do AHU cleaning in Doleham?
Yes, Doleham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Get in touch with the details and we’ll arrange a survey.
Can the work in Doleham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Doleham can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and we will suggest an interval after the first clean.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
Cleaning takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Large plant can be split over several shifts, so call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email to talk it through.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Report water on the plant room floor
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.

What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, particularly where damp has made it stick. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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 explain each part.
