About our AHU cleaning in Dungate
Our AHU cleans for sites in Dungate cover the parts that collect dirt: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. If you are dealing with filters that are clogged or overdue and units that have only ever had filter changes, we can put it right, from filter sections, internal panels and supply and extract fans 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’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to confirm water is draining away.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
Why deal with it now?
If people in a building in Dungate complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. In a small place like Dungate, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
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. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one, and we clear up before we go. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Dungate.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Dungate questions
Can you clean school ventilation in Dungate during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Dungate. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Is Dungate within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Dungate included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
The clean includes noting faults, but repairs sit with your maintenance contractor, with the details in the report.
When to call us in Dungate
Filters that aren’t changed or cleaned on time clog up, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Drain trays holding standing water
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Milstead and Frinsted Church of England Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether they recommend a next date
Part by part
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Dungate
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
