How we handle AHU cleaning in Henfield
Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: it draws air in, filters it, heats or cools it and pushes it round the ductwork. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. We are often asked to deal with fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, on heating and cooling coils, supply and extract fans and drain trays.
For a building near Henfield, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Henfield buildings and their air
The nearest hospital to Henfield is The Dene Hospital, about 5.4 miles north-east. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.

Leave it or put it right?
When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the whole system stays cleaner for longer. It also means the next inspection has less to find. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Henfield
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Part by part
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Everything the job in Henfield needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, with new panels fitted where necessary.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, including anything we think needs attention.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can you look after several sites?

What we are called out for in Henfield
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Odours coming through the supply air
Classrooms and halls at schools such as St Peter's CofE Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
What affects the quote in Henfield
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- What state the system is in
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
