Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
AHU cleaning in Hurstpierpoint
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. The work covers internal panels, supply and extract fans and heating and cooling coils, and the jobs we see most are debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and dirty filters cutting the airflow.
For a building near Hurstpierpoint, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The method doesn’t change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Leave it or put it right?
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 site near Hurstpierpoint that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately

What the work covers
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
What the work involves, 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.
Drain trays
The drain tray collects water from the cooling coil. Standing water and slime are removed and the outlet is checked.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Hurstpierpoint
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Stick to the filter change plan
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. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Your opening hours decide when we come to Hurstpierpoint, not ours.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
