How the job changes from site to site

The fan section is cleaned with the unit switched off and isolated with your site team.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. We plan safe access as part of the survey so the quote reflects it.
AHU cleaning in East Grinstead, done properly
If the units serving a building in East Grinstead have only had filter changes for years, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. The work covers supply and extract fans, heating and cooling coils and drain trays, and common reasons people get in touch are leaves and litter drawn into the unit and coils clogged with dust and debris.
Buildings in towns like East Grinstead often have ventilation added in stages, with units on the roof or in a plant room. The work starts with an inspection to decide what needs cleaning.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
East Grinstead buildings and their air
There are about 8 schools, colleges and universities and about 21 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of central East Grinstead. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. East Grinstead is about 26 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. For East Grinstead, the closest hospital is Queen Victoria Hospital, roughly 0.8 miles north-east. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.
Wherever a school like St Mary's CofE Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near East Grinstead, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Queen Victoria Hospital (about 0.8 miles north-east). If you manage shops or offices close to East Grinstead station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.

Leave it or put it right?
Dirt left in an air handling unit does not stay in the unit. It moves on into the ductwork and out into the rooms, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. Before an inspection or an insurer’s visit in East Grinstead, it helps to have up-to-date records.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. The more we can see of the system beforehand, the smoother the visit to East Grinstead will be.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
What affects the quote in East Grinstead
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Where the site is and how we reach 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. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
