AHU cleaning in Egerton
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Egerton and the rest of Kent, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. The work covers dampers and louvres, internal panels and supply and extract fans, and people most often call us about odours coming through the supply air and dirty fans and fan housings.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What affects the quote in Egerton
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
For AHU cleaning in Egerton, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can survey both.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
What happens if it’s left?
If people in a building in Egerton complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Egerton.
- 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.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Common problems we fix in Egerton
Filters that aren’t changed or cleaned on time clog up, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
Around Egerton, as anywhere, ventilation cleaning begins with an inspection.
