South Bersted: your questions answered
Can you come to South Bersted after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you clean school ventilation in South Bersted in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around South Bersted, the Food Standards Agency lists about 27 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
That is set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Every section that collects dirt: filters, coils, tray, fan and panels. The survey confirms what’s in your unit before we quote.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. The shutdown is planned with whoever runs the building.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in South Bersted
No two plant rooms are the same, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. We look at the unit first, from photos or a site visit, and send you a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. If you are dealing with leaves and litter drawn into the unit and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays, we can help.
In a place like South Bersted, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, where they’re easy to forget. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Why act early in South Bersted
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt doesn’t stay put. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, which is why the unit and the ducts are best cleaned together. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

The process
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. A site near South Bersted usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in South Bersted and across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

Do you need AHU cleaning in South Bersted?
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it does not always include cleaning the inside. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Dirty fans and fan housings
If you manage offices or shops near Bognor Regis station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours.

What affects the quote in South Bersted
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quotes are quick. 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.
How the job changes from site to site
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
Drain trays
Older trays can corrode and start leaking. We record their condition with pictures so repairs can be planned.
What AHU cleaning looks like in South Bersted
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 27 schools, colleges and universities, about 39 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 9 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses with registered kitchens or food service in South Bersted and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital, about under half a mile south of South Bersted. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients. About 55 miles out from central London, South Bersted is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near South Bersted, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (about less than half a mile south).

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs 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.
