AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Flackley Ash
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Flackley Ash and the rest of East Sussex, 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, drain trays and internal panels, and common reasons people get in touch are dirty coils holding back the airflow and leaves and litter drawn into the unit.
In a village or hamlet like Flackley Ash, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Flackley Ash
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Flackley Ash and across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

When to call us in Flackley Ash
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Drain trays holding standing water
In Flackley Ash, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.
Questions to ask before you book

Part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Many AHUs sit on roofs or in plant rooms with limited access. Access is planned during the survey so the quote reflects it.
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. In a small place like Flackley Ash, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
