AHU cleaning in Lenham Heath, done properly
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Lenham Heath and the rest of Kent, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. If you have dirty fans and fan housings and plant that needs cleaning after a refit, we can help.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Why act early in Lenham Heath
A clean unit feeds cleaner air into the ductwork, so the whole system stays cleaner for longer. It also means the next inspection has less to find. In a place like Lenham Heath, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

When to call us in Lenham Heath
Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. It’s easy for a long time to go by without anyone opening the panels.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
For schools like The Lenham School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the price is fixed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
How the job changes from site to site
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we do, step by step

On site, it takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Lenham Heath can be planned properly.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
