About our AHU cleaning in Pagham
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Pagham and the rest of West Sussex, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. Common call-outs are for rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and plant that needs cleaning after a refit, across supply and extract fans, drain trays and dampers and louvres.
Somewhere as small as Pagham, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Why act early in Pagham
Dirt left in an air handling unit does not stay in the unit. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, which is why the unit and the ducts are best cleaned together. A fault that closes a site in a village like Pagham affects everyone who depends on it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Why Pagham businesses choose us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Fully insured
- We diagnose before we treat
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Pagham
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital, about 3.3 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Pagham, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

Pagham: your questions answered
Is Pagham within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Pagham included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in Pagham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Pagham doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can quote for both.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The size of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Pagham.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- 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
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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.
