About our AHU cleaning in Newtimber
No two plant rooms are the same, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. We look at the unit first, from photos or a site visit, and send you a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. The work covers heating and cooling coils, filter sections and internal panels, and common reasons people get in touch are fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and dirty coils holding back the airflow.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Report water on the plant room floor
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, based on what we found. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
Newtimber: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Newtimber?
Yes, Newtimber is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you work in Newtimber outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Newtimber keeps running as normal. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes, the ductwork, grilles and diffusers the unit serves. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, including anything we think needs attention.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Newtimber knowing what to expect.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Ventilation in Newtimber buildings
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 3 hotels and guest houses with registered kitchens or food service within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Newtimber. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. For Newtimber, the closest hospital is The Dene Hospital, roughly 4.2 miles north. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale. Newtimber is about 41 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like The Dene Hospital (about 4.2 miles north) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts. Around Newtimber, as anywhere, ventilation cleaning begins with an inspection.
Newtimber is about 5 miles south-west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
How we price AHU cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
What the work involves, part by part
Drain trays
The drain tray collects water from the cooling coil. We clear standing water, clean out slime and check the outlet is draining.
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
