- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Odours coming through the supply air
What the work involves, part by part
Fans and fan sections
The fan moves all of the unit’s air, so dirt on it gets spread around. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Goudhurst
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 aren’t flattened. The work covers internal panels, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils, and people most often call us about air handling units due a clean after building work and dirty coils holding back the airflow.
Work in a small place like Goudhurst starts with agreeing access and timings.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

Advice
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Goudhurst
Can you get to a site in Goudhurst?
Yes, Goudhurst is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do AHU cleaning in Goudhurst?
Yes, Goudhurst is covered. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few photos of the system.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes, supply and extract ducts, grilles and diffusers. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What happens if it’s left?
Dirt left in an air handling unit does not stay in the unit. It moves on into the ductwork and out into the rooms, which is why the unit and the ducts are best cleaned together. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will talk you through it.

Ventilation in Goudhurst buildings
Ticehurst House Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 5.1 miles south-west of Goudhurst. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients. Goudhurst, about 36 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Goudhurst and Kilndown Church of England Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Goudhurst, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Ticehurst House Hospital (about 5.1 miles south-west).

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
What AHU cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- What state the system is in

- The scale of the work

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 we start.
