What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Sevenoaks Weald.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

AHU cleaning in Sevenoaks Weald, done properly
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, in the airstream that feeds the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. Common call-outs are for odours coming through the supply air and air handling units with blocked filters, across internal panels, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres.
Somewhere as small as Sevenoaks Weald, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Sevenoaks Weald: your questions answered
Can a school’s ventilation in Sevenoaks Weald be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Sevenoaks Weald. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Is Sevenoaks Weald within the area you cover?
Yes, Sevenoaks Weald is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you work evenings or weekends?
Yes. The clean is planned around when the unit can be switched off. Healthcare and care settings are planned with staff.
Do you repair air handling units?
We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with pictures where it helps.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
When to call us in Sevenoaks Weald
Whatever surrounds a building in Sevenoaks Weald, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and some travels further into the unit.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Sevenoaks Hospital (about 3.6 miles north) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
What to look for in a quote

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

How we price AHU cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
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. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What happens if it’s left?
A clean unit feeds cleaner air into the ductwork, so the whole system stays cleaner for longer. That makes the next inspection of a building in Sevenoaks Weald simpler. Somewhere as small as Sevenoaks Weald, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Part by part
Drain trays
Drain trays can rust and leak over time. Their condition goes into the report with pictures so you can decide on any repairs.
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.
