AHU cleaning in Swift's Green
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. If you are dealing with stale or musty smells from the ventilation and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Swift's Green, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What affects the quote in Swift's Green
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
For AHU cleaning in Swift's Green, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, along with anything we couldn’t reach. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air instead of leaving it to guesswork.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Swift's Green
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Swift's Green?
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it doesn’t always include cleaning the inside. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
For buildings in and around Swift's Green, TR19® Air cleaning starts with an inspection.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
