AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in East Stourmouth
No two plant rooms are the same, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. We look at the unit first, from photos or a site visit, and send you a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. If you have drain trays holding standing water and stale or musty smells from the ventilation, we can help, from dampers and louvres, filter sections and heating and cooling coils onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
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, ready for your insurer.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

Common problems we fix in East Stourmouth
Air handling units are typically tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
An inspection comes first for any ventilation job around East Stourmouth, so the cleaning matches what’s there.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we’ve finished. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to make sure it stays clear.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to East Stourmouth run smoothly.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in East Stourmouth
Do you work in villages like East Stourmouth?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and East Stourmouth is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work overnight in East Stourmouth?

What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. Any faults we notice are recorded for your maintenance team to follow up.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.

TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
How we price AHU cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
