What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures 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 any work starts.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Flemings
We clean air handling units for buildings in Flemings and across Kent, working to TR19® Air, 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. If you have air handling units due a clean after building work and dust built up on fan impellers, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Flemings, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.

What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Somewhere like Flemings, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Flemings
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
In Flemings, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.
Questions to ask before booking
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
Other services in Flemings
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Different parts, different methods
Rooftop and plant room units
Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. The intake section gets particular attention.
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. They’re photographed before and after for your records.

Can you clean school ventilation in Flemings during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Flemings. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate plus before and after pictures. Keep them in the maintenance log.

We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
