AHU cleaning in Hollingdean
If the units serving a building in Hollingdean have only had filter changes for years, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full clean deals with all of it. If you have units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, we can help.
Smaller buildings around Hollingdean often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, out of sight and easy to overlook. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Hollingdean
Can the work in Hollingdean be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Hollingdean keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you work in villages like Hollingdean?
Yes, Hollingdean is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, and any sections we can’t reach are noted in the report, with new panels fitted where needed.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. Filters are cleaned or changed as agreed in the quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report for your maintenance team to follow up.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

How the job changes from site to site
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. The intake section gets particular attention.
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. We plan the journey to Hollingdean and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What happens if it’s left?
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt doesn’t stay put. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. A site near Hollingdean that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Hollingdean buildings and their air
Food Standards Agency records list about 50 schools, colleges and universities, about 58 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 8 hotels and B&Bs registered as food businesses across Hollingdean and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. Brighton General Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 1.1 miles south-east of Hollingdean. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale. We cover Hollingdean, about 45 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Hollingdean, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Brighton General Hospital (about 1.1 miles south-east). Classrooms and halls at schools such as Hertford Infant and Nursery School are easiest to work in when pupils are away. If you manage shops or offices close to Moulsecoomb station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.
