About our AHU cleaning in Hinxhill
Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: air is pulled in, filtered, conditioned and sent out through the ducts. Anything that collects inside the unit can end up in the rooms it serves, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. The work covers supply and extract fans, drain trays and filter sections, and the jobs we see most are blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and dust built up on fan impellers.
Somewhere as small as Hinxhill, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Report water on the plant room floor
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, taking into account how dirty it was. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
Common questions in Hinxhill
Do you cover Hinxhill for AHU cleaning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hinxhill is part of that. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with a few details of the site.
Do you work overnight in Hinxhill?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Hinxhill keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
That’s set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate plus before and after photos. Keep them in the maintenance log.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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, especially where there’s been moisture. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The cost 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 we start, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us

When to call us in Hinxhill
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, a little more each month.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
Healthcare buildings such as William Harvey Hospital, about 0.7 miles west, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Hinxhill, yours matters too.
