AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in South Ambersham
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. Typical jobs include blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and dust built up on fan impellers, across heating and cooling coils, dampers and louvres and filter sections.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to South Ambersham can be planned properly.
- We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

What else we do in South Ambersham
Do you need AHU cleaning in South Ambersham?
Filters that are not changed or cleaned on time clog up, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Air handling units with blocked filters
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Midhurst Rother College are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What paperwork you get at the end
Why act early in South Ambersham
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, particularly where damp has made it stick. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why book with us
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- Every job surveyed first
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
