How we handle AHU cleaning in Nonington
We clean air handling units for buildings in Nonington and across Kent, working to TR19® Air, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. If you have odours coming through the supply air and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake, we can help, from supply and extract fans, drain trays and filter sections onwards.
Work in a small place like Nonington starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is 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.

How the job changes from site to site
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. Anything like that is recorded with pictures.
Drain trays
Standing water in a tray sits right where the air passes. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Nonington
Do you work overnight in Nonington?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Nonington needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you clean school ventilation in Nonington in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Nonington, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you repair air handling units?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How long will the unit be out of action?
Typically the clean takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. We plan the shutdown around that, including evenings or weekends.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What do you clean inside the unit?
We clean the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and internal casing. Filters are cleaned or changed as agreed in the quote.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Nonington
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Make sure condensate is draining away
When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to confirm water is draining away.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Nonington.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- 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 when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Common problems we fix in Nonington
Air handling units are typically tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Condensate trays that will not empty
If you manage shops or offices close to Aylesham station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.
