How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Goring-by-Sea can normally be finished without a second trip.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Goring-by-Sea
Where a building in Goring-by-Sea has had little more than filter changes, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full clean deals with all of it. Common call-outs are for dust built up on fan impellers and plant that needs cleaning after a refit, across heating and cooling coils, dampers and louvres and internal panels.
Smaller buildings around Goring-by-Sea often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, out of sight and easy to overlook. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What the work involves, part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What happens if it’s left?
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. When a site near Goring-by-Sea shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What else we do in Goring-by-Sea
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Do you work in villages like Goring-by-Sea?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Goring-by-Sea included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can the work in Goring-by-Sea be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Goring-by-Sea needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.

Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
