South Fambridge: your questions answered
Is AHU cleaning available in South Fambridge?
Yes, South Fambridge is covered. Get in touch with the details and we’ll arrange a survey.
Do you work overnight in South Fambridge?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in South Fambridge does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Where does the waste go?
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 need to switch the unit off?
Yes, for the time we are working on it. Out-of-hours work is available so the building isn’t left without ventilation when it’s busy.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in South Fambridge
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. We look at the unit first, from pictures or a site visit, and send you a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. The work covers dampers and louvres, drain trays and supply and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are odours coming through the supply air and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake.
Work in a small place like South Fambridge starts with agreeing access and timings.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common problems we fix in South Fambridge
Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
For schools like Greensward Academy, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether they’re fully insured
How we price AHU cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to South Fambridge.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A system that is undersized for the building
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
- Drain trays
- Supply and extract fans
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, taking into account how dirty it was. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
What the work involves, part by part
Filters
Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. They’re cleaned using methods that won’t bend or flatten the fins.

Why it’s worth doing now in South Fambridge
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, particularly where damp has made it stick. Somewhere as small as South Fambridge, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
