AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stanmer
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, with the unit switched off and made safe first. The work covers dampers and louvres, supply and extract fans and internal panels, and the jobs we see most are air handling units never cleaned inside and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover.
For a building in or near Stanmer, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
The report is your 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 and sits alongside the report.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Stanmer?
It matters for two reasons: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For the people using the building every day, that’s the air they breathe for hours on end.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
Healthcare buildings such as Brighton General Hospital, about 2.7 miles south, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Stanmer, yours matters too.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, along with anything we couldn’t reach. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. The timing of a visit to Stanmer is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
