What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Golden Cross
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 pictures or a site visit, and send you a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. The work covers drain trays, heating and cooling coils and supply and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and dirty filters cutting the airflow.
Work in a small place like Golden Cross starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Golden Cross: your questions answered
Is Golden Cross within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Golden Cross included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is Golden Cross in your area for AHU cleaning?
Yes, we work in Golden Cross and the places around it. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day of the survey details.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. Cleaning the unit and ducts together often makes sense, and we can quote for both.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
- Heating and cooling coils
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
Why act early in Golden Cross
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. The result is extra wear and a building that does not feel as comfortable, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

How the job changes from site to site
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.
Rooftop and plant room units
Many AHUs sit on roofs or in plant rooms with limited access. We plan safe access as part of the survey, before we quote.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.

How we price AHU cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
