Air handling unit cleaning in Newington, Kent
For AHU cleaning in Newington, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can quote for both.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
About our AHU cleaning in Newington
We clean air handling units for buildings in Newington and across Kent, working to TR19® Air, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. Common call-outs are for dust built up on fan impellers and plant that needs cleaning after a refit, on dampers and louvres, heating and cooling coils and supply and extract fans.
For a building in or near Newington, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Newington questions
Will you come out to Newington?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Newington included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come to Newington after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
That is set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes, while the clean is under way. Out-of-hours work is available to keep disruption down.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Newington
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Common problems we fix in Newington
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and slime and smells soon follow.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
Healthcare buildings such as Royal Victoria Hospital, about 2.5 miles east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Newington, yours matters too.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Somewhere as small as Newington, 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
