How we handle AHU cleaning in Lingfield
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins aren’t flattened. If you have dust-coated heating and cooling coils and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays, we can help, from heating and cooling coils, filter sections and drain trays onwards.
In a place like Lingfield, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, where they’re easy to forget. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
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 do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
AHU cleaning around Lingfield
Food Standards Agency data includes about 7 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Lingfield. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. About 23 miles out from central London, Lingfield is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Queen Victoria Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 2.9 miles south of Lingfield. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
Healthcare buildings such as Queen Victoria Hospital, about 2.9 miles south, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Lingfield, yours matters too. School buildings such as Lingfield Primary School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

Around Lingfield
Around Lingfield, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Centenary Fields, The Star pub and Lingfield College, among other places.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Questions from Lingfield
Do you work overnight in Lingfield?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Lingfield keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Will you come out to Lingfield?
Yes, Lingfield is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, so we plan it for a time that suits the building.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
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 email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What a clean will not put right
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A system that’s undersized for the building
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on in Lingfield
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
What happens if it’s left?
Dirt left in an air handling unit doesn’t stay in the unit. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Why book with us

How we price AHU cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
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. After that, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Your opening hours decide when we come to Lingfield, not ours.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Lingfield
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
If you manage offices or shops near Lingfield station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
