When to call us in Glassenbury
Whatever surrounds a building in Glassenbury, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and the finer material travels on.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
Healthcare buildings such as Benenden Hospital, about 5.3 miles east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Glassenbury, yours matters too.

AHU cleaning in Glassenbury, done properly
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins are not flattened. The work covers filter sections, heating and cooling coils and supply and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are dust-coated heating and cooling coils and condensate trays that won’t empty.
Work in a small place like Glassenbury starts with agreeing access and timings.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Somewhere like Glassenbury, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
FAQs for Glassenbury
Do you offer AHU cleaning in Glassenbury?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Glassenbury included. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with a few photos of the system.
Can you come to Glassenbury after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Glassenbury doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
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.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Leave it or put it right?
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. The result is extra wear and a building that doesn’t feel as comfortable, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
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 the price is fixed before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, based on what we found. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
