What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Stowting Common
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, in the airstream that feeds the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. If you have plant that has been serviced but not cleaned and plant that needs cleaning after a refit, we can put it right.
For a building in or near Stowting Common, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. In a small place like Stowting Common, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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 locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the work

Do you need AHU cleaning in Stowting Common?
An AHU’s intake draws in outdoor air and everything in it: dust, pollen, leaves and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and some travels further into the unit.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
William Harvey Hospital, about 5.1 miles west, is the nearest hospital to Stowting Common, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Why act early in Stowting Common
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
You will not 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.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
