How we handle AHU cleaning in Patrixbourne
Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: air is pulled in, filtered, conditioned and sent out through the ducts. Anything that collects inside the unit can end up in the rooms it serves, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. If you are dealing with intake sections clogged with outdoor debris and air handling units due a clean after building work, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Patrixbourne, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Patrixbourne questions
Is Patrixbourne in your area for AHU cleaning?
Yes, Patrixbourne is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with a few details of the site.
Will you come out to Patrixbourne?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can survey both on the same visit.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, with any faults we noticed.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you repair air handling units?
The clean includes noting faults, but repairs sit with your maintenance contractor, with the details in the report.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Patrixbourne?
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Air handling units with blocked filters
Hospitals such as St Martins Hospital (about 2 miles north-west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Patrixbourne are no different.
Before booking anyone
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of insurance
- What records you will receive afterwards
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What AHU cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. For a village or hamlet like Patrixbourne, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Advice
How we price AHU cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
For AHU cleaning in Patrixbourne, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
Why deal with it now?
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. In a small place like Patrixbourne, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
