About our AHU cleaning in Farthingloe
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Farthingloe 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. Common call-outs are for dust-coated heating and cooling coils and air handling units due a clean after building work, across drain trays, filter sections and internal panels.
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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.

Why it’s worth doing now in Farthingloe
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. The result is extra wear and a building that does not feel as comfortable, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. With notice, the visit to Farthingloe can be fitted around your bookings and events.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Farthingloe
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.

Other services in Farthingloe
What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. We note any we find in the report.
Drain trays
Older trays can corrode and start leaking. Their condition goes into the report with photos so you can decide on any repairs.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Farthingloe, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
