About our AHU cleaning in Pratling Street
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. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. The work covers filter sections, drain trays and supply and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are condensate trays that won’t empty and dirty fans and fan housings.
For a building in or near Pratling Street, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Pratling Street and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
FAQs for Pratling Street
Can you work in Pratling Street outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Is Pratling Street within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Pratling Street is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, and any sections we cannot reach are noted in the report, with new panels fitted where necessary.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Pratling Street
No filter stops everything. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, building up layer by layer.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
School buildings such as St Peter's Church of England Primary School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What paperwork you get at the end
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Pratling Street and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Leave it or put it right?
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, particularly where damp has made it stick. It’s simpler to plan the work at Pratling Street now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
