Air handling unit cleaning in Haywards Heath, West Sussex
Need AHU cleaning in Haywards Heath? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
When we’ve closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to confirm water is draining away.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
AHU cleaning in Haywards Heath, done properly
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, with the unit switched off and made safe first. The work covers drain trays, filter sections and internal panels, and people most often call us about dirty coils holding back the airflow and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris.
In a town like Haywards Heath, ventilation cleaning usually means offices, schools, surgeries, care homes and leisure buildings. Each has supply and extract ductwork that collects dust and debris.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Different parts, different methods
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.
Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.
What affects the quote in Haywards Heath
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
