What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
AHU cleaning in Sittingbourne
We clean air handling units for buildings in Sittingbourne and across Kent, working to TR19® Air, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. The work covers filter sections, heating and cooling coils and supply and extract fans, and people most often call us about blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and dirty filters cutting the airflow.
In a town like Sittingbourne, ventilation cleaning typically means offices, schools, surgeries, care homes and leisure buildings. Their supply and extract ducts all gather dust over time.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why act early in Sittingbourne
Tenants, auditors and owners may want proof that the air handling plant is kept clean. Our certificate and photo report give you clear evidence, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. A small fault found now is a quick job; the same fault found later can close the site.
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’ll price it together.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
Stick to the filter change schedule, because good filters protect everything downstream. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.

Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Sittingbourne?
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray does not fall properly, water stands in it, and slime and smells soon follow.
Look out for any of the following:
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
If you run an office near Sittingbourne station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Sites in a town like Sittingbourne rarely need to lose trading hours, as the work fits around them.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
