- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
In Staplecross, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.

How we handle AHU cleaning in Staplecross
We clean air handling units for buildings in Staplecross and across East Sussex, working to TR19® Air, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. If you’re dealing with air handling units never cleaned inside and stale or musty smells from the ventilation, we can help, from internal panels, heating and cooling coils and drain trays onwards.
Work in a small place like Staplecross starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, 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.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due, rather than waiting for a problem.
Questions from Staplecross
Is Staplecross within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come to Staplecross after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Staplecross doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What do you clean inside the unit?
The main parts are the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and inside of the casing. The survey confirms what’s in your unit before we quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, and any sections we can’t reach are noted in the report, with new panels fitted where needed.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We’ll flag anything we notice during the clean.
What we do, step by step
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. The visit takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Staplecross, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Staplecross
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How the job changes from site to site
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.
Fans and fan sections
The fan section is cleaned with the unit switched off and isolated in agreement with the site.
