AHU cleaning in Icklesham, done properly
If the units serving a building in Icklesham have only had filter changes for years, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. Typical jobs include debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and air handling units with blocked filters, across filter sections, drain trays and dampers and louvres.
In a village or hamlet like Icklesham, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Part by part
Drain trays
The drain tray collects water from the cooling coil. Standing water and slime are removed and the outlet is checked.
Heating and cooling coils
Cooling coils stay damp in use, so dirt on them can turn sticky. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.

How we price AHU cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Why it’s worth doing now in Icklesham
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Icklesham questions
Do you work overnight in Icklesham?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Icklesham can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you work in villages like Icklesham?
Yes, Icklesham is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with the details in the report.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, so we plan it for a time that suits the building.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Icklesham.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can quote for both.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due, rather than waiting for a problem.
