AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Sandy Cross
We clean air handling units for buildings in Sandy Cross and across East Sussex, working to TR19® Air, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. If you have blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, we can help.
For a building near Sandy Cross, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

How the job changes from site to site

Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe with your site team.
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. We photograph them for the report.
Common questions in Sandy Cross
Do you work at weekends in Sandy Cross?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Sandy Cross can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Sandy Cross in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Sandy Cross. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Normally, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Sandy Cross?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report also suggests when the unit should next be inspected.

AHU cleaning in Sandy Cross: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises registered as food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Sandy Cross. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. About 40 miles out from central London, Sandy Cross is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. For Sandy Cross, the closest hospital is Hellingly Hospital, roughly 5 miles south. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.

How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Everything the job in Sandy Cross needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- 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
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Stick to the filter change plan
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Make sure condensate is draining away
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, and note any part we couldn’t get to. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
What affects the quote in Sandy Cross
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The times the site is available
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- The postcode and the type of business
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. 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.
