Ventilation in Shripney buildings
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 10 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens or food service within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Shripney. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. Shripney’s nearest hospital, Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital, is about 1.3 miles south. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients. Shripney, about 54 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital, about 1.3 miles south, is the nearest hospital to Shripney, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean. For schools like Bersted Green Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
Shripney is about 2 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Sites in Shripney get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos. We cover 371 places across West Sussex, from busy centres to quieter spots. Portsmouth is in our area too, about 18 miles from Shripney.
All of PO22 is covered for AHU cleaning, from the main roads to the quietest streets. If you need AHU cleaning at premises on Shripney Lane, Shripney Road and The Marigolds or a nearby road, we can help. If your site is just outside Shripney, we cover Lidsey (1 mile north-east), Flansham (2 miles east), Westergate (2 miles north), Aldingbourne (2 miles north) and Eastergate (2 miles north). We also work in nearby towns such as Worthing (12 miles east), Chichester (5 miles north-west), Selsey (7 miles south-west), Littlehampton (6 miles east), Lancing (15 miles east) and Emsworth (12 miles west).
What’s near Shripney
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Brooks Local Nature Reserve, The Regis School and Felpham Community College. For rail, the closest station is Bognor Regis station, about 1.7 miles south of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Tote Copse Castle (1.8 miles north-west) and Bognor Regis Museum (2.1 miles south).
AHU cleaning in Shripney, done properly
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. We are often asked to deal with plant that has been serviced but not cleaned and condensate trays that won’t empty, on internal panels, supply and extract fans and heating and cooling coils.
In a village or hamlet like Shripney, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Shripney and across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What we do, step by step
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’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Somewhere as small as Shripney, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
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 start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
Places near Shripney
Also in Shripney
Leave it or put it right?
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. If the system at a site near Shripney fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
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 us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Shripney
- Heating and cooling coils
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can quote for both.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
How we price AHU cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How many systems or sites are involved
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Some systems can be priced from pictures; 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.
Shripney: your questions answered
Do you clean school ventilation in Shripney in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Shripney, the Food Standards Agency lists about 10 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Will you come out to Shripney?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Shripney is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work evenings or weekends?
Yes. We time the work to fit the building’s hours. In hospitals and care homes, we agree timings with the site team.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. The shutdown is planned with whoever runs the building.
