AHU Cleaning in Framfield
AHU cleaning in Framfield from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Odours coming through the supply air
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Framfield.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading

AHU cleaning in Framfield
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. We look at the unit first, from photos or a site visit, and give you a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. Typical jobs include condensate trays that won’t empty and filters that are clogged or overdue, across dampers and louvres, drain trays and filter sections.
In a village or hamlet like Framfield, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Framfield: your questions answered
Can the work in Framfield be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Framfield in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Framfield, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate plus before and after pictures. Keep them in the maintenance log.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you repair air handling units?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Every section that collects dirt: filters, coils, tray, fan and panels. The survey confirms what’s in your unit before we quote.
AHU cleaning in Framfield: local notes
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 6 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises serving food within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Framfield. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. We cover Framfield, about 38 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. About 1.2 miles west of Framfield is Uckfield Community Hospital, the nearest hospital. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.
For schools like Framfield Church of England Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
Framfield is about 1 mile east of Uckfield, in East Sussex. From the centre of Framfield to the outskirts, AHU cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates. Framfield is one of 289 towns, villages and districts in East Sussex where we work for commercial clients. Brighton is in our area too, around 15 miles away.

Other places close to Framfield include Etchingwood (1 mile north-east), Uckfield (1 mile west), Blackboys (1 mile east), Potter's Green (2 miles north) and Buxted (2 miles north).

We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Uckfield College, Hempstead Meadow and Hare & Hounds pub and the streets around them.

What we are called out for in Framfield
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, building up layer by layer.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Air handling units with blocked filters
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Framfield, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Uckfield Community Hospital (about 1.2 miles west).

What staff can safely do
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 will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
How we price AHU cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can survey both.
Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
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.
