How we handle AHU cleaning in Golden Cross
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with photos, so the report shows exactly what was done. If you’re dealing with leaves and litter drawn into the unit and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned, we can put it right, from supply and extract fans, filter sections and heating and cooling coils onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re 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.

The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased, and we clear up before we go. In a small place like Golden Cross, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Why act early in Golden Cross
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in Golden Cross can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. If the system at a site near Golden Cross fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What 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 we start.

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.

What AHU cleaning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Golden Cross
- Dampers and louvres
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
Part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Heating and cooling coils have tightly packed fins that trap fine dust. They’re cleaned using methods that won’t bend or flatten the fins.
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.

There are about 3 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) on the FSA’s food hygiene register within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Golden Cross.

Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Hellingly Hospital Railway is the nearest hospital, about 3.3 miles east of Golden Cross. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Hellingly Hospital Railway (about 3.3 miles east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts. If you manage a school such as Chiddingly Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can quote for both.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
