AHU cleaning in Kingsnorth
Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: air is pulled in, filtered, conditioned and sent out through the ducts. Anything that collects inside the unit can end up in the rooms it serves, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. The work covers dampers and louvres, filter sections and heating and cooling coils, and the jobs we see most are dust built up on fan impellers and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris.
Work in a small place like Kingsnorth starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can quote for both.
Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
Questions from Kingsnorth
Can you do AHU cleaning in Kingsnorth?
Yes, Kingsnorth is covered. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few pictures of the system.
Do you cover smaller places like Kingsnorth?
Yes, Kingsnorth is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Every section that collects dirt: filters, coils, tray, fan and panels. We confirm the scope after looking at the unit.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Somewhere as small as Kingsnorth, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Kingsnorth
Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
Healthcare buildings such as Medway Maritime Hospital, about 4.2 miles south-west, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Kingsnorth, yours matters too.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether they recommend a next date
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What records you will receive afterwards
When something else is needed
AHU cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Medway. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What the work involves, part by part
Drain trays
The drain tray collects water from the cooling coil. We clear standing water, clean out slime and check the outlet is draining.
Filters
Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
