For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Horam
We clean air handling units for buildings in Horam and across East Sussex, working to TR19® Air, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. Common call-outs are for stale or musty smells from the ventilation and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, on internal panels, dampers and louvres and filter sections.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How the job changes from site to site
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
Horam: your questions answered
Do you cover Horam for AHU cleaning?
Yes, Horam is covered. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few pictures of the system.
Do you work at weekends in Horam?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Horam doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
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.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
TR19® Air takes a risk-based approach, so it depends on inspection rather than a fixed interval. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
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 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.

What else we do in Horam
Ventilation in Horam buildings

Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. The nearest hospital to Horam is Hellingly Hospital Railway, about 3.1 miles south. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital. At about 42 miles from central London, Horam sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Why it’s worth doing now in Horam
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Horam is calmer for everyone.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. In a small place like Horam, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A system that’s undersized for the building
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on in Horam
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Horam
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray doesn’t fall properly, water stands in it, and slime and smells soon follow.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Odours coming through the supply air
If you manage a school such as Maynards Green Community Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
