Part by part
Filters
Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. The filter section is cleaned so new or cleaned filters sit properly.
Drain trays
Older trays can corrode and start leaking. We record their condition with photos so you can decide on any repairs.
About our AHU cleaning in Fawkham Green
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, in the airstream that feeds the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. The work covers internal panels, filter sections and drain trays, and people most often call us about dust-coated heating and cooling coils and dirty filters cutting the airflow.
Somewhere as small as Fawkham Green, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Why it’s worth doing now in Fawkham Green
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, especially where there’s been moisture. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
