About our AHU cleaning in Pease Pottage
We clean air handling units for buildings in Pease Pottage and across West Sussex, working to TR19® Air, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. The work covers drain trays, heating and cooling coils and supply and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are plant that needs cleaning after a refit and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris.
For a building near Pease Pottage, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The method doesn’t change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Pease Pottage
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and slime and smells soon follow.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
Healthcare buildings such as Crawley Hospital, about 2.3 miles north, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Pease Pottage, yours matters too.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of insurance
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether the figure could change on the day
What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a smaller place like Pease Pottage, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Don’t let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
What the work involves, part by part
Filters
Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
Drain trays
Older trays can corrode and start leaking. Their condition goes into the report with pictures so you can decide on any repairs.

FAQs for Pease Pottage
Do you work in villages like Pease Pottage?

Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Pease Pottage in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 7 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Pease Pottage. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We clean the unit and report anything we see that needs attention.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. We cannot clean a running unit, so it’s switched off and made safe first. We agree the timing with your site team.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
