AHU cleaning in Great Kingshill
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, with the unit switched off and made safe first. Common call-outs are for drain trays holding standing water and filters that are clogged or overdue, on dampers and louvres, drain trays and supply and extract fans.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- A few general shots of the system
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

Great Kingshill buildings and their air
Food Standards Agency data includes about 3 schools, colleges and universities and about 6 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises in Great Kingshill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. We cover Great Kingshill, about 30 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Great Kingshill’s nearest hospital, Chiltern Hospital, is about 1.9 miles north-east. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
Hospitals such as Chiltern Hospital (about 1.9 miles north-east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Great Kingshill are no different. For schools like Great Kingshill Church of England Combined School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Great Kingshill
Will you come out to Great Kingshill?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Great Kingshill included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can ventilation in schools around Great Kingshill be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Great Kingshill. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. In a small place like Great Kingshill, 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Related advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Heating and cooling coils have tightly packed fins that trap fine dust. We clean them with care so the fins are not damaged.
Drain trays
A tray that doesn’t drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and note if the slope or the drain needs attention.
