About our AHU cleaning in Durrington
We clean air handling units for buildings in Durrington and across West Sussex, working to TR19® Air, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. If you have air handling units with blocked filters and dirty fans and fan housings, we can put it right, from heating and cooling coils, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres onwards.
For a building near Durrington, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The method does not change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. We plan the journey to Durrington and bring what the job is likely to need.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- 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.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Leave it or put it right?
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. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Durrington than wait for a failure.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

AHU cleaning in Durrington: local notes
Food Standards Agency data includes about 14 schools, colleges and universities and about 37 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) in Durrington and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. Durrington’s nearest hospital, The Acre, is about 2.2 miles south-east. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale. Durrington, about 48 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Durrington, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like The Acre (about 2.2 miles south-east). If you manage a school such as Durrington Junior School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

Durrington questions
Can you get to a site in Durrington?
Yes. Durrington is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you clean school ventilation in Durrington during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 14 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Durrington. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, with new panels fitted where necessary.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you clean without disrupting the building?
Yes, wherever it helps the building. We plan the shutdown window with you.
How the job changes from site to site
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. Anything like that is recorded with pictures.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. The intake section gets particular attention.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can survey both.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
What AHU cleaning can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
