AHU Cleaning in Stockcross
For AHU cleaning in Stockcross, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Air handling units with blocked filters
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the AHU cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Stockcross can be planned properly.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Advice
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stockcross
If the units serving a building in Stockcross have only had filter changes for years, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. The work covers internal panels, dampers and louvres and drain trays, and common reasons people get in touch are blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and units that have only ever had filter changes.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

FAQs for Stockcross
Do you work overnight in Stockcross?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Stockcross does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Stockcross?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Stockcross included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How long does an AHU clean take?
Typically the clean takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. The shutdown is planned to fit, out of hours if needed.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. We agree the timing with your site team.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we will survey first.
Leave it or put it right?
If people in a building in Stockcross complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. In a place like Stockcross, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email 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.
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Building management system faults
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on in Stockcross
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
