About our AHU cleaning in East Hoathly
Our AHU cleans for sites in East Hoathly cover the parts that collect dirt: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures in a report. If you have units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and air handling units with blocked filters, we can help, from internal panels, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans onwards.
Work in a small place like East Hoathly starts with agreeing access and timings.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean

East Hoathly: your questions answered
Can ventilation in schools around East Hoathly be cleaned out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of East Hoathly. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Is East Hoathly within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, East Hoathly included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
There’s no single answer; it comes down to the building and the unit. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and the report recommends a next date.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Can you clean without disrupting the building?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and weekends, so offices, schools and shops can carry on.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What we are called out for in East Hoathly
Whatever surrounds a building in East Hoathly, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and some travels further into the unit.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
School buildings such as East Hoathly CofE Primary School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

How the job changes from site to site
Fans and fan sections
Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
Internal casing and panels
Access doors and panels are opened in turn and closed properly afterwards before the unit is handed back.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to East Hoathly.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one

No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
