AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lunsford's Cross
No two plant rooms are the same, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. Every job starts with a survey, from photos or on site, followed by a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. If you have coils clogged with dust and debris and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, we can put it right, from filter sections, dampers and louvres and drain trays onwards.
Work in a small place like Lunsford's Cross 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 written report, dated and illustrated with photos, 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.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Lunsford's Cross
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
FAQs for Lunsford's Cross
Do you work at weekends in Lunsford's Cross?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Lunsford's Cross does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover smaller places like Lunsford's Cross?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Lunsford's Cross is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, and new panels can be fitted.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
The work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Large plant can be split over several shifts, and you can call 0345 646 2711 or email us to plan it.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Somewhere as small as Lunsford's Cross, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Ventilation in Lunsford's Cross buildings
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities and about 8 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises registered as food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Lunsford's Cross. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. We cover Lunsford's Cross, about 49 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. About 2.1 miles south-east of Lunsford's Cross is Bexhill Hospital, the nearest hospital. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
Hospitals such as Bexhill Hospital (about 2.1 miles south-east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Lunsford's Cross are no different. School buildings such as Ninfield Church of England Primary School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

What AHU cleaning can’t fix

- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean

What the work covers
- Heating and cooling coils
- Internal panels
- Drain trays
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, based on what we found. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
Part by part
Internal casing and panels
Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. The intake section gets particular attention.

Leave it or put it right?
Facilities teams are often asked for evidence that the ventilation is looked after. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. A planned visit to Lunsford's Cross is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
