Managing agents and facilities teams in Newenden
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.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Newenden
If the units serving a building in Newenden have only had filter changes for years, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. The work covers drain trays, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils, and the jobs we see most are air handling units with blocked filters and condensate trays that won’t empty.
Work in a small place like Newenden starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.
What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere as small as Newenden, 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.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. We note any we find in the report.
Common questions in Newenden
Is Newenden within the area you cover?
Yes. Newenden is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you cover Newenden for AHU cleaning?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Newenden included. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details of the site.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes, while the clean is under way. We can work evenings, overnight or at weekends so the building is not left without ventilation when it’s busy.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can quote for both.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. Any faults we notice are recorded for your maintenance team to follow up.
Why it’s worth doing now in Newenden
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. Somewhere as small as Newenden, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses 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 will go through it with you.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.

Common problems we fix in Newenden
An AHU’s intake draws in outdoor air and everything in it: dust, pollen, leaves and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and some travels further into the unit.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Air handling units with blocked filters
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Benenden Hospital (about 4.9 miles north) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
