About our AHU cleaning in Hollingbury
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. We are often asked to deal with dirty fans and fan housings and dirty filters cutting the airflow, across supply and extract fans, filter sections and heating and cooling coils.
For a building near Hollingbury, 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Common questions in Hollingbury
Do you clean school ventilation in Hollingbury in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 33 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Hollingbury. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Is Hollingbury within the area you cover?
Yes. Hollingbury is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Can you clean the AHU out of hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and weekends, so offices, schools and shops can carry on.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. The shutdown is planned with whoever runs the building.
What do you clean inside the unit?
Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Ventilation in Hollingbury buildings
There are about 33 schools, colleges and universities, about 28 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses on the FSA’s food hygiene register within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hollingbury. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. Hollingbury is about 44 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. About 2.1 miles south of Hollingbury is Brighton General Hospital, the nearest hospital. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.
School buildings such as Carden Nursery and Primary School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed. Hospitals such as Brighton General Hospital (about 2.1 miles south) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Hollingbury are no different.

Leave it or put it right?
Facilities teams are often asked for evidence that the ventilation is looked after. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, ready to show anyone who asks. A quieter site near Hollingbury still needs its system looked after.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hollingbury
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Brighton and Hove. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
How we price AHU cleaning
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
What AHU cleaning can’t fix
AHU cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Your opening hours decide when we come to Hollingbury, not ours.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system
