AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Roedean
Where a building in Roedean has had little more than filter changes, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full clean deals with all of it. Common call-outs are for air handling units never cleaned inside and plant that needs cleaning after a refit, across heating and cooling coils, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans.
Somewhere as small as Roedean, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, because good filters protect everything downstream. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Roedean.
- We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Questions from Roedean
Can the work in Roedean be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Roedean can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can a school’s ventilation in Roedean be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 26 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Roedean. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll fit the work in.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
There’s no single answer; it comes down to the building and the unit. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and we will suggest an interval after the first clean.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, and any sections we can’t reach are noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Part by part
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. We photograph them for the report.
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
What AHU cleaning looks like in Roedean
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 26 schools, colleges and universities and about 20 care, childcare and hospital premises with registered kitchens or food service in Roedean and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. Roedean, about 47 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. The nearest hospital to Roedean is French Convalescent Home, about 0.5 miles west. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital.
Wherever a school like St Mark's CofE Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time. Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like French Convalescent Home (about 0.5 miles west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

What else we do in Roedean
What affects the quote in Roedean
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Why act early in Roedean
If people in a building in Roedean complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. In a small place like Roedean, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Roedean and across Brighton and Hove. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What AHU cleaning can’t fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
