How we handle AHU cleaning in New Pound
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in New Pound and the rest of Kent, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. Typical jobs include drain trays holding standing water and dust-coated heating and cooling coils, on heating and cooling coils, internal panels and drain trays.
Work in a small place like New Pound starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Book the next check in line with the report
Stick to the filter change schedule, because good filters protect everything downstream. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Managing agents and facilities teams in New Pound
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
How the job changes from site to site
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.
Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. We protect the area below before opening them.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
If people in a building in New Pound complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
