How we price AHU cleaning

- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

How we handle AHU cleaning in Northiam
We clean air handling units for buildings in Northiam and across East Sussex, 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. If you’re dealing with air handling units with blocked filters and dust built up on fan impellers, we can put it right, from heating and cooling coils, internal panels and drain trays onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Questions from Northiam
Is Northiam in your area for AHU cleaning?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Northiam included. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day of the survey details.
Can the work in Northiam be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Northiam needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, and any sections we cannot reach are noted in the report, with new panels fitted where necessary.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What information do you need?
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 use the quote form.
How long does an AHU clean take?
Typically the clean takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. We plan the shutdown around that, out of hours if needed.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Northiam
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in Northiam, that is air they breathe for hours at a time.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
An inspection comes first for any ventilation job around Northiam, so the cleaning matches what’s there.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- What paperwork you get at the end
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Different parts, different methods
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and the housing around them is cleaned too.
How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. For a village or hamlet like Northiam, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
