Questions from Shoreham
Do you cover smaller places like Shoreham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Shoreham included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can a school’s ventilation in Shoreham be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Shoreham. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Do you work evenings or weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and weekends, so offices, schools and shops can carry on.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We clean the unit and report anything we see that needs attention.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. Cleaning the unit and ducts together often makes sense, and we can quote for both.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Shoreham
We clean air handling units for buildings in Shoreham and across Kent, 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. We’re often asked to deal with air handling units never cleaned inside and stale or musty smells from the ventilation, across heating and cooling coils, filter sections and supply and extract fans.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Shoreham’s nearest hospital, Sevenoaks Hospital, is about 3.2 miles south.

At about 16 miles from central London, Shoreham sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
School buildings such as Shoreham Village School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Shoreham, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Sevenoaks Hospital (about 3.2 miles south).

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Shoreham.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Fans and fan sections
The fan moves all of the unit’s air, so dirt on it gets spread around. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.
Filters
Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. The filter section is cleaned so new or cleaned filters sit properly.
What AHU cleaning can’t fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Building management system faults
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shoreham
When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. It also means the next inspection has less to find. In a place like Shoreham, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Shoreham?
It matters for two reasons: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For the people using the building every day, that’s the air they breathe for hours on end.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
For workplaces around Shoreham (Kent) station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends.
Comparing quotes
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
