How we handle AHU cleaning in Etchingwood
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, with the unit switched off and made safe first. If you have dirty coils holding back the airflow and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, we can help, from filter sections, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres onwards.
For a building in or near Etchingwood, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price AHU cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. In a small place like Etchingwood, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Common problems we fix in Etchingwood
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it doesn’t always include cleaning the inside. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Uckfield College are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they recommend a next date

Questions from Etchingwood
Is Etchingwood in your area for AHU cleaning?
Yes, Etchingwood is covered. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few details of the site.
Do you work in villages like Etchingwood?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Etchingwood is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Building management system faults
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres

- Internal panels
AHU cleaning in Etchingwood: local notes

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
Why it’s worth doing now in Etchingwood
Tenants, auditors and owners may want proof that the air handling plant is kept clean. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. A fault that closes a site in a village like Etchingwood affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
