How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?

Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
About our AHU cleaning in East Saltdean
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, in the airstream that feeds the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. We are often asked to deal with air handling units never cleaned inside and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs, on drain trays, heating and cooling coils and filter sections.
For a building near East Saltdean, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Common problems we fix in East Saltdean
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, building up layer by layer.
Look out for any of the following:
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Odours coming through the supply air
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near East Saltdean, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like French Convalescent Home (about 3.5 miles west).

Why deal with it now?
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. It’s better to plan the work at a site near East Saltdean than wait for a failure.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much 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. Your opening hours decide when we come to East Saltdean, not ours.
- 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.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
