AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hellingly
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Hellingly and the rest of East Sussex, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. If you are dealing with dirty coils holding back the airflow and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, we can put it right.
Smaller buildings around Hellingly often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, where they’re easy to forget. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Different parts, different methods
Heating and cooling coils
Cooling coils stay damp in use, so dirt on them can turn sticky. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. The intake section gets particular attention.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hellingly
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in Hellingly can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Hellingly than wait for a failure.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Hellingly
Can a school’s ventilation in Hellingly be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Hellingly, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Can you work in Hellingly outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Hellingly needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is Hellingly in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Hellingly included.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
How long will the unit be out of action?
It takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Size, layout and how dirty it is decide the rest, and the quote will give you a clear idea.

Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Building management system faults
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
What we’re called out for in Hellingly
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and slime and smells soon follow.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
If you manage a school such as Hawkes Farm Academy, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
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.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. For a site near Hellingly, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- 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.
