AHU cleaning in Peacehaven, done properly
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. Typical jobs include dirty coils holding back the airflow and filters that are clogged or overdue, across dampers and louvres, internal panels and drain trays.
For a building near Peacehaven, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, 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.
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.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Different parts, different methods
Filters
Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. We note any we find in the report.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to make sure it stays clear.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.

Questions from Peacehaven
Can you clean school ventilation in Peacehaven during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Peacehaven. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Can you come to Peacehaven after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Peacehaven needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We will flag anything we notice during the clean.
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, and new panels can be fitted.
Common problems we fix in Peacehaven
No filter stops everything. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, building up layer by layer.
Look out for any of the following:
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
If you manage a school such as Peacehaven Community School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Building management system faults
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. We plan the journey to Peacehaven and bring what the job is likely to need.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
