How we handle AHU cleaning in Horsmonden
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins aren’t flattened. The work covers heating and cooling coils, filter sections and supply and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs.
Somewhere as small as Horsmonden, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Horsmonden: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Horsmonden?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you clean school ventilation in Horsmonden in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Horsmonden. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
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 send us an email.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What the work involves, part by part
Drain trays
A tray that doesn’t drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we will tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- A system that’s undersized for the building
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Visits to a village like Horsmonden are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Get a fixed quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Why act early in Horsmonden
Standing water in a drain tray does not clear itself. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Why Horsmonden businesses choose us
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Full insurance on every job
- In business since 2009

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
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.
What we are called out for in Horsmonden
Filters that are not changed or cleaned on time clog up, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.
Look out for any of the following:
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
Wherever a school like Horsmonden Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
