Managing agents and facilities teams in East Chiltington
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in East Chiltington
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, with the unit switched off and made safe first. If you’re dealing with fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, we can put it right.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

East Chiltington: your questions answered
Do you cover East Chiltington for AHU cleaning?
Yes, East Chiltington is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details of the site.
Do you cover smaller places like East Chiltington?
Yes, East Chiltington is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with the details in the report.

The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. For a village or hamlet like East Chiltington, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- 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
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
What happens if it’s left?
If people in a building in East Chiltington complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. Somewhere as small as East Chiltington, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
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 go through it with you.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
AHU cleaning in East Chiltington: local notes
East Chiltington’s nearest hospital, Lewes Victoria Hospital, is about 3.7 miles south-east. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients. At about 40 miles from central London, East Chiltington sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Wherever a school like Plumpton Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time. For workplaces around Plumpton station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near East Chiltington, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Lewes Victoria Hospital (about 3.7 miles south-east).

What the work involves, part by part
Drain trays
Standing water in a tray sits right where the air passes. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
Rooftop and plant room units
Many AHUs sit on roofs or in plant rooms with limited access. Access is planned during the survey, before we quote.
What affects the quote in East Chiltington
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- What state the system is in
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
