How we handle AHU cleaning in Northbourne
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so the report shows exactly what was done. If you have dirty filters cutting the airflow and dirty coils holding back the airflow, we can put it right.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Don’t let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Northbourne
Is AHU cleaning available in Northbourne?
Yes, we work in Northbourne and the places around it. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day of the survey details.
Do you cover smaller places like Northbourne?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. The result is extra wear and a building that does not feel as comfortable, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. In a place like Northbourne, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What affects the quote in Northbourne
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
- Internal panels

Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
Drain trays
Older trays can corrode and start leaking. Their condition goes into the report with photos so repairs can be planned.
