Stick Hill AHU cleaning
Cleaning of air handling units, including filters, coils, drain trays, fans and internal surfaces for commercial sites in Stick Hill and across Kent. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Condensate trays that will not empty
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
When we’ve closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to confirm water is draining away.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
About our AHU cleaning in Stick Hill
Where a building in Stick Hill has had little more than filter changes, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full clean deals with all of it. Typical jobs include rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and air handling units due a clean after building work, on drain trays, filter sections and supply and extract fans.
In a village or hamlet like Stick Hill, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

Questions from Stick Hill
Is Stick Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you cover Stick Hill for AHU cleaning?
Yes, we work in Stick Hill and the places around it. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with a few details of the site.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes, both a certificate and a report with photos. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
Can you clean the AHU out of hours?
Yes. We time the work to fit the building’s hours. In hospitals and care homes, we agree timings with the site team.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes, for the time we are working on it. Out-of-hours work is available to keep disruption down.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Why deal with it now?
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, especially where there’s been moisture. Planning a trip to Stick Hill ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Visits to a village like Stick Hill are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
