AHU cleaning in East Lavington, done properly
No two plant rooms are the same, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. We look at the unit first, from photos or a site visit, and send you a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. The work covers filter sections, internal panels and heating and cooling coils, and people most often call us about coils clogged with dust and debris and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned.
In a village or hamlet like East Lavington, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What the work involves, part by part
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. We photograph them for the report.
Fans and fan sections
The fan moves all of the unit’s air, so dirt on it gets spread around. We clean the impeller, housing and surrounding section.
Ventilation in East Lavington buildings
There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of East Lavington. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. The nearest hospital to East Lavington is Midhurst Community Hospital, about 5.1 miles north-west. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.

For schools like Graffham CofE Infant School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to East Lavington.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Do you need AHU cleaning in East Lavington?
No filter stops everything. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, a little more each month.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near East Lavington, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Midhurst Community Hospital (about 5.1 miles north-west).
Before you book anyone
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether they recommend a next date
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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.
What affects the quote in East Lavington
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
