AHU cleaning in Faversham, done properly
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Faversham and the rest of Kent, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. The work covers supply and extract fans, dampers and louvres and drain trays, and the jobs we see most are fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and units that have only ever had filter changes.
Around a town like Faversham, the buildings with ducted ventilation are typically offices, schools, surgeries and care homes. Each has supply and extract ductwork that collects dust and debris.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Faversham
Can a school’s ventilation in Faversham be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 8 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Faversham, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can the work in Faversham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Faversham keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes, the ductwork, grilles and diffusers the unit serves. We will tell you after the survey whether the ducts need it.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes, both a certificate and a report with pictures. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
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.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email 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. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Ventilation in Faversham buildings

Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. Faversham, about 44 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.

Leave it or put it right?
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. Nothing in a duct, damper or fan improves by being left.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. In Faversham, the visit is planned around your opening hours, parking and access to the system.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.

Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. The intake section gets particular attention.
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- A system that is undersized for the building
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
