What staff can safely do
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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
About our AHU cleaning in Hamsey
Where a building in Hamsey has had little more than filter changes, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. The work covers dampers and louvres, filter sections and internal panels, and people most often call us about dust built up on fan impellers and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned.
In a village or hamlet like Hamsey, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens if it’s left?
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, particularly where damp has made it stick. A fault that closes a site in a village like Hamsey affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Common problems we fix in Hamsey
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in Hamsey, that’s air they breathe for hours at a time.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
Lewes Victoria Hospital, about 1.5 miles south, is the nearest hospital to Hamsey, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Hamsey and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

Hamsey buildings and their air
The nearest hospital to Hamsey is Lewes Victoria Hospital, about 1.5 miles south. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients. About 42 miles out from central London, Hamsey is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you manage offices or shops near Cooksbridge station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours. Classrooms and halls at schools such as Hamsey Community Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

What AHU cleaning can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.

Different parts, different methods
Filters
Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. We check them, and clean or change them as agreed in the quote, and clean the filter housing.
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe with your site team.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
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.
Common questions in Hamsey
Do you work overnight in Hamsey?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is AHU cleaning available in Hamsey?
Yes, we work in Hamsey and the places around it. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, including anything we think needs attention.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, and any sections we cannot reach are noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How long will the unit be out of action?
As a guide, it takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. We plan the shutdown around that, including evenings or weekends.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
