When something else is needed

- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
- Dampers and louvres
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels
AHU cleaning in Eastling
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. We’re often asked to deal with condensate trays that won’t empty and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned, on internal panels, supply and extract fans and filter sections.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Leave it or put it right?
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. In a place like Eastling, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Eastling?
Air handling units are usually tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. It’s easy for a long time to go by without anyone opening the panels.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
For schools like Eastling Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- What insurance they carry
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- If they look at the system before pricing
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Questions from Eastling
Can you come to Eastling after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you do AHU cleaning in Eastling?
Yes, Eastling is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day of the survey details.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. We agree the timing with your site team.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
It takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. The unit’s size and condition make the biggest difference, and the quote will give you a clear idea.
How the visit works
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, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. In a small place like Eastling, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The number of sites or systems
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
