What the work involves, part by part
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. We photograph them for the report.
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. Cleaning keeps it running as intended.
AHU cleaning in Lullingstone
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with pictures, so the report shows exactly what was done. Typical jobs include debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and dirty fans and fan housings, on supply and extract fans, drain trays and heating and cooling coils.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Lullingstone
Do you cover smaller places like Lullingstone?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Lullingstone included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you work in Lullingstone outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Lullingstone can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. We cannot clean a running unit, so it’s switched off and made safe first. We agree the timing with your site team.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
The work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Bigger units can be phased, so ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email to talk it through.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lullingstone
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. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Lullingstone rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. For a village or hamlet like Lullingstone, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Make sure condensate is draining away
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we’ve finished. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to confirm water is draining away.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Heating and cooling coils
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
