How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. The timing of a visit to Selsted is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

About our AHU cleaning in Selsted
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. If you have units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, we can put it right, from heating and cooling coils, internal panels and filter sections onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What AHU cleaning looks like in Selsted
At about 60 miles from central London, Selsted sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Selsted’s nearest hospital, Royal Victoria Hospital, is about 5 miles south. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.
Wherever a school like Selsted Church of England Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air instead of leaving it to guesswork.
How the job changes from site to site
Filters
Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and clean the filter housing.
Internal casing and panels
Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. We note any we find in the report.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Common questions in Selsted
Will you come out to Selsted?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Selsted included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Selsted?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Selsted doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we will survey first.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How long will the unit be out of action?
As a guide, it takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. The shutdown is planned to fit, including evenings or weekends.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Selsted?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes, the ductwork, grilles and diffusers the unit serves. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
When to call us in Selsted
Whatever surrounds a building in Selsted, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. Most of it lands at the intake and the first stage of filters, and some travels further into the unit.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Royal Victoria Hospital (about 5 miles south) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
