About our AHU cleaning in Newick
If the units serving a building in Newick have only had filter changes for years, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. Typical jobs include leaves and litter drawn into the unit and condensate trays that won’t empty, across drain trays, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans.
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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What happens if it’s left?
A clean unit feeds cleaner air into the ductwork, so the whole system stays cleaner for longer. It also means the next inspection has less to find. A fault that closes a site in a village like Newick affects everyone who depends on it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. We check them, and clean or change them as agreed in the quote, and the housing around them is cleaned too.
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.
AHU cleaning in Newick: local notes

Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. Uckfield Community Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 4 miles east of Newick.

Common problems we fix in Newick
Whatever surrounds a building in Newick, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and some travels further into the unit.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Odours coming through the supply air
Uckfield Community Hospital, about 4 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Newick, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

Questions from Newick
Will you come out to Newick?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Newick?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Newick does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.
How long will the unit be out of action?
As a guide, it takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. The shutdown is planned to fit, out of hours if needed.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. For a village or hamlet like Newick, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
