Stodmarsh: your questions answered
Will you come out to Stodmarsh?
Yes. Stodmarsh is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in Stodmarsh be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Stodmarsh needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes, while the clean is under way. Out-of-hours work is available to keep disruption down.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stodmarsh
If the units serving a building in Stodmarsh have only had filter changes for years, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full clean deals with all of it. If you have units that have only ever had filter changes and drain trays holding standing water, we can put it right, from heating and cooling coils, supply and extract fans and filter sections onwards.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- A system that is undersized for the building
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
Why deal with it now?
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, particularly where damp has made it stick. In a small place like Stodmarsh, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Stodmarsh, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
Stick to the filter change schedule, because good filters protect everything downstream. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
Part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Many AHUs sit on roofs or in plant rooms with limited access. We plan safe access as part of the survey, before we quote.
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
