About our AHU cleaning in Nutley
We clean air handling units for buildings in Nutley and across East Sussex, 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 blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned, we can put it right, from filter sections, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Nutley.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- 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
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

What we’re called out for in Nutley
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it does not always include cleaning the inside. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Drain trays holding standing water
Wherever a school like Nutley Church of England Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether they recommend a next date
How we price AHU cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can survey both.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
