AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Fosten Green
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. Typical jobs include fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and condensate trays that won’t empty, across dampers and louvres, heating and cooling coils and supply and extract fans.
Somewhere as small as Fosten 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Book the next check in line with the report
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.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
Questions from Fosten Green
Can you do AHU cleaning in Fosten Green?
Yes, Fosten Green is covered. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details of the site.
Do you work in villages like Fosten Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Fosten Green included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
Every section that collects dirt: filters, coils, tray, fan and panels. We confirm the scope after looking at the unit.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
The clean includes noting faults, but repairs sit with your maintenance contractor, with pictures where it helps.
What affects the quote in Fosten Green
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What else we do in Fosten Green
Different parts, different methods
Internal casing and panels
Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.
Fans and fan sections
The fan moves all of the unit’s air, so dirt on it gets spread around. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Fosten Green
Air handling units are normally tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings, so they’re easy to forget about. It’s easy for a long time to go by without anyone opening the panels.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
In Fosten Green, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the next visit should be, and why
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- How VAT is shown on the quote
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. In a small place like Fosten Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- 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
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
