Common problems we fix in Kit's Coty
Whatever surrounds a building in Kit's Coty, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and the finer material travels on.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Dirty fans and fan housings
For schools like Tunbury Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
Questions to ask before you book
- If they look at the system before pricing
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
How we handle AHU cleaning in Kit's Coty
We clean air handling units for buildings in Kit's Coty and across Kent, working to TR19® Air, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. We’re often asked to deal with blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and coils clogged with dust and debris, on internal panels, drain trays and supply and extract fans.
Work in a small place like Kit's Coty starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Kit's Coty
Do you cover smaller places like Kit's Coty?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Kit's Coty included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Kit's Coty in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 6 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Kit's Coty, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you work evenings or weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and weekends, so the building keeps running in the day.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes, while the clean is under way. We can work evenings, overnight or at weekends so the building is not left without ventilation when it’s busy.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with photos where it helps.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
That is set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.
The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Kit's Coty can be planned properly.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

What staff can safely do
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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Building management system faults
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Kit's Coty
- Dampers and louvres
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can survey both.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.

Different parts, different methods
Drain trays
A tray that doesn’t drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.
