AHU cleaning in Richborough Port
Where a building in Richborough Port has had little more than filter changes, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. Common call-outs are for air handling units with blocked filters and stale or musty smells from the ventilation, across supply and extract fans, internal panels and dampers and louvres.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, because good filters protect everything downstream. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due, rather than waiting for a problem.
What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Somewhere as small as Richborough Port, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Richborough Port
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.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
If you manage a school such as Sir Roger Manwood's School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

What the work involves, part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
