AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Rodmersham
Our AHU cleans for sites in Rodmersham cover the parts that collect dirt: 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 debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, across drain trays, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres.
For a building in or near Rodmersham, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Make sure condensate is draining away
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can survey both.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A system that’s undersized for the building
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What else we do in Rodmersham
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Questions from Rodmersham
Can you come to Rodmersham after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Rodmersham does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Will you come out to Rodmersham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate plus before and after photos. Keep them in the maintenance log.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.
What happens if it’s left?
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. In a place like Rodmersham, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job
- A written report with photos after every visit
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- We diagnose before we treat

How we price AHU cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Rodmersham.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What the work involves, part by part
Fans and fan sections
Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
Filters
Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
