AHU cleaning in Teynham
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins are not flattened. The work covers heating and cooling coils, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres, and people most often call us about dirty filters cutting the airflow and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover.
In a place like Teynham, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, out of sight and easy to overlook. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

FAQs for Teynham
Can you get to a site in Teynham?
Yes. Teynham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Teynham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Teynham can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you repair air handling units?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We will flag anything we notice during the clean.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
There’s no single answer; it comes down to the building and the unit. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and the report recommends a next date.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes, for the time we’re working on it. We can work evenings, overnight or at weekends to keep disruption down.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Teynham can normally be finished without a second trip.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Do you need AHU cleaning in Teynham?
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
Wherever a school like Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

When something else is needed
AHU cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers

How we price AHU cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Nearby you’ll also find Bayford Court (2.8 miles west) and Sittingbourne Heritage Museum (2.7 miles west).
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Why it’s worth doing now in Teynham
Facilities teams are often asked for evidence that the ventilation is looked after. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. Around Teynham, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
