AHU cleaning in Eddington, done properly
If the units serving a building in Eddington have only had filter changes for years, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full clean deals with all of it. If you have odours coming through the supply air and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned, we can put it right, from supply and extract fans, drain trays and filter sections onwards.
In a smaller place like Eddington, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What happens if it’s left?
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. Even a site near Eddington that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Eddington
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Common questions in Eddington
Is Eddington within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Eddington is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you clean school ventilation in Eddington in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 10 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Eddington. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will fit the work in.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from intake to discharge, including coils, fan and drain trays. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What we are called out for in Eddington
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
Workplaces around Herne Bay station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.

What a clean will not put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Book the next check in line with the report
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Eddington, so let us know how to reach it.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- 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 pictures and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
