About our AHU cleaning in Sandleheath
If the units serving a building in Sandleheath have only had filter changes for years, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. We’re often asked to deal with air handling units never cleaned inside and dirty filters cutting the airflow, on dampers and louvres, heating and cooling coils and drain trays.
In a village or hamlet like Sandleheath, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
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, with full insurance on top.

Leave it or put it right?
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt does not stay put. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. It’s simpler to plan the work at Sandleheath now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Questions from Sandleheath
Can you come to Sandleheath after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Sandleheath does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Will you come out to Sandleheath?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Sandleheath included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate plus before and after photos. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
Mechanical repairs to the unit are for your HVAC maintenance contractor. We clean the unit and report anything we see that needs attention.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How we price AHU cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Need a price for AHU cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with a few details about the site. We will talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Somewhere like Sandleheath, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What AHU cleaning can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When to call us in Sandleheath
No filter stops everything. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, a little more each month.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
For buildings in and around Sandleheath, TR19® Air cleaning starts with an inspection.
