How we handle AHU cleaning in Low Street
If the units serving a building in Low Street 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 are often asked to deal with blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, on internal panels, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres.
Work in a small place like Low Street 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, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

When to call us in Low Street
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, a little more each month.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
Wherever a school like East Tilbury Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What insurance they carry
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
AHU cleaning in Low Street: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities and about 7 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises registered as food businesses in and around Low Street, up to about a mile and a half out. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. Gravesham Community Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 2.6 miles south-west of Low Street. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale. About 21 miles out from central London, Low Street is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Healthcare buildings such as Gravesham Community Hospital, about 2.6 miles south-west, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Low Street, yours matters too. For workplaces around East Tilbury station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends.

What happens if it’s left?

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Book the next check in line with the report
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, taking into account how dirty it was. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Don’t let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
Questions from Low Street
Can ventilation in schools around Low Street be cleaned out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Low Street. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you cover smaller places like Low Street?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Low Street included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
Can you clean without disrupting the building?
Yes. We time the work to fit the building’s hours. In hospitals and care homes, we agree timings with the site team.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes, supply and extract ducts, grilles and diffusers. We will tell you after the survey whether the ducts need it.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. Anything like that is recorded with photos.
Rooftop and plant room units
Many AHUs sit on roofs or in plant rooms with limited access. We plan safe access as part of the survey, before we quote.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. In a small place like Low Street, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
