About our AHU cleaning in Hollington
An air handling unit is the heart of a building’s ventilation: 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, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. Common call-outs are for condensate trays that won’t empty and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs, across heating and cooling coils, filter sections and dampers and louvres.
For a building near Hollington, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The method does not change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Hollington: your questions answered
Do you clean school ventilation in Hollington in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 8 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Hollington, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Can you get to a site in Hollington?
Yes, Hollington is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and the report recommends a next date.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
How long does an AHU clean take?
Typically the clean takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. The shutdown is planned to fit, out of hours if needed.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, with new panels fitted where necessary.
Can you clean the AHU out of hours?
Yes, wherever it helps the building. We plan the shutdown window with you.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the AHU cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. For a site near Hollington, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- 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.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Other services in Hollington
What we are called out for in Hollington
Filters that aren’t changed or cleaned on time clog up, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Conquest Hospital (about 1.1 miles north-east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hollington
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
How we price AHU cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
