AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Kingston Gorse
If the units serving a building in Kingston Gorse have only had filter changes for years, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full clean deals with all of it. We’re often asked to deal with filters that are clogged or overdue and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, on filter sections, drain trays and dampers and louvres.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we are called out for in Kingston Gorse
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it doesn’t always include cleaning the inside. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Ferring CofE Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether VAT is included
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
How the job changes from site to site
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
Internal casing and panels
Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. We note any we find in the report.
How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. The timing of a visit to Kingston Gorse is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Kingston Gorse: your questions answered
Do you clean school ventilation in Kingston Gorse in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 8 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Kingston Gorse. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will fit the work in.
Do you work overnight in Kingston Gorse?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Kingston Gorse doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and the report recommends a next date.
Do you repair air handling units?
We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with the details in the report.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Leave it or put it right?
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. Planning a trip to Kingston Gorse ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- A system that’s undersized for the building
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
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.
Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
