Leave it or put it right?
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. Planning a trip to Stowting ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

AHU cleaning in Stowting
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Stowting and the rest of Kent, 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 have odours coming through the supply air and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned, we can help, from drain trays, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Stowting, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Stowting
Is Stowting within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stowting is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work at weekends in Stowting?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Stowting needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
All the internal parts the air touches, from intake to discharge, including coils, fan and drain trays. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Stowting buildings and their air

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can survey both.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.

Part by part
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. We photograph them for the report.
When something else is needed
AHU cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Building management system faults
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.
