AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hankham
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. We look at the unit first, from photos or a site visit, and send you a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. Typical jobs include coils clogged with dust and debris and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, on dampers and louvres, drain trays and filter sections.
In a village or hamlet like Hankham, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

AHU cleaning around Hankham
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 5 care, childcare and hospital premises with registered kitchens or food service in Hankham 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. Hankham, about 50 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Hankham’s nearest hospital, Eastbourne District General Hospital, is about 2.9 miles south-west. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Hankham Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Hankham, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Eastbourne District General Hospital (about 2.9 miles south-west).

FAQs for Hankham
Do you work overnight in Hankham?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Hankham keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Hankham?
Yes, Hankham is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hankham
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt does not stay put. It moves on into the ductwork and out into the rooms, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. If the system at a site near Hankham fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A system that is undersized for the building
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Somewhere like Hankham, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. We note any we find in the report.
Drain trays
Older trays can corrode and start leaking. We record their condition with photos so repairs can be planned.
