How we handle AHU cleaning in Maudlin
No two plant rooms are the same, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. We look at the unit first, from photos or a site visit, and give you a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. The work covers heating and cooling coils, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans, and people most often call us about air handling units due a clean after building work and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned.
Work in a small place like Maudlin starts with agreeing access and timings.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why it’s worth doing now in Maudlin
A clean unit feeds cleaner air into the ductwork, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. It also means the next inspection has less to find. A planned visit to Maudlin is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. The timing of a visit to Maudlin is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Part by part
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe in agreement with the site.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Maudlin
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What AHU cleaning can’t fix
AHU cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- A system that’s undersized for the building
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
- Dampers and louvres
When to call us in Maudlin
It matters for two reasons: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For the people using the building every day, that is the air they breathe for hours on end.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
Healthcare buildings such as Chichester Centre, about 1.3 miles west, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Maudlin, yours matters too.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they recommend a next date
- If they look at the system before pricing
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether VAT is included
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Maudlin
Do you clean school ventilation in Maudlin in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Maudlin. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Is Maudlin within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
