How we handle AHU cleaning in Hurst Green
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with pictures, so the report shows exactly what was done. Typical jobs include plant that needs cleaning after a refit and odours coming through the supply air, on drain trays, heating and cooling coils and dampers and louvres.
For a building in or near Hurst Green, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why deal with it now?
When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. It also means the next inspection has less to find. A fault that closes a site in a village like Hurst Green affects everyone who depends on it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Questions from Hurst Green
Do you cover smaller places like Hurst Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hurst Green included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is Hurst Green in your area for AHU cleaning?
Yes, we work in Hurst Green and the places around it. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day of the survey details.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
There’s no single answer; it comes down to the building and the unit. Regular inspection shows when it’s due, and we will suggest an interval after the first clean.
How long does an AHU clean take?
The work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Bigger units can be phased, so call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email to talk it through.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Can you clean the AHU out of hours?
Yes, wherever it helps the building. We plan the shutdown window with you.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Hurst Green?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
How it 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. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Hurst Green.
- We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Common problems we fix in Hurst Green
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
Hospitals such as Ticehurst House Hospital (about 3.7 miles north-west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Hurst Green are no different.
Before you book anyone
- What hours they’ll be on site
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether they’re fully insured
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we’ve finished. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to make sure it stays clear.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due, rather than waiting for a problem.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
