Part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. They’re cleaned using methods that will not bend or flatten the fins.
Internal casing and panels
Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. We note any we find in the report.
AHU cleaning in Dymchurch
If the units serving a building in Dymchurch have only had filter changes for years, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full clean deals with all of it. The work covers dampers and louvres, drain trays and filter sections, and the jobs we see most are filters that are clogged or overdue and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays.
Around a place like Dymchurch, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
We are 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, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What we’re called out for in Dymchurch
It matters for two reasons: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in Dymchurch, that is air they breathe for hours at a time.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
Around Dymchurch, as anywhere, ventilation cleaning begins with an inspection.

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. We plan the journey to Dymchurch and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
How to prepare

Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Dymchurch

Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. We can’t clean a running unit, so it’s switched off and made safe first. The shutdown is planned with whoever runs the building.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.

Typically the clean takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. We plan the shutdown around that, including evenings or weekends.
