FAQs for Finberry
Do you work at weekends in Finberry?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Finberry keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is Finberry in your area for AHU cleaning?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Finberry included. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with a few details of the site.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can quote for both.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.

Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
About our AHU cleaning in Finberry
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Finberry and the rest of Kent, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. If you are dealing with dirty coils holding back the airflow and air handling units with blocked filters, we can help, from internal panels, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans onwards.
Somewhere as small as Finberry, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What AHU cleaning looks like in Finberry
Finberry is about 50 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. William Harvey Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 1.9 miles north-east of Finberry. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Finberry Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
Finberry is about 2 miles south-east of Ashford, in Kent. Whether your site is in the middle of Finberry or further out, AHU cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, and Finberry is one of them. There’s also a page for Maidstone, roughly 19 miles from Finberry.
AHU cleaning in TN25 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. Local streets include Swift Avenue, Harrier Drive and Nuthatch Drive, and we cover them all for AHU cleaning. We also cover Cheeseman's Green (1 mile south), South Willesborough (1 mile north), Park Farm (1 mile west), Newtown (1 mile north-west) and Kingsnorth (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (14 miles north-east), Folkestone (12 miles east), Faversham (14 miles north), Hythe (9 miles east), Davington (14 miles north) and Preston (13 miles north).
Local landmarks in Finberry
In Finberry, that means kitchens and buildings near Ashford Green Corridors and John Wallis Academy. The nearest railway station is Ashford International station, about 2 miles north-west of the centre. A little further out are William Harvey Hospital (1.9 miles north-east) and Ashford Designer Outlet (1.5 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Hatch Park.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Finberry knowing what to expect.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

How the job changes from site to site
Filters
Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. The filter section is cleaned so new or cleaned filters sit properly.
Drain trays
Standing water in a tray sits right where the air passes. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Finberry
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.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Finberry and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Why it’s worth doing now in Finberry
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

What else we do in Finberry
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Report water on the plant room floor
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can quote for both.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Finberry?
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.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Finberry, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like William Harvey Hospital (about 1.9 miles north-east).
