Why act early in Three Leg Cross

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Three Leg Cross
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. We look at the unit first, from photos or a site visit, and give you a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. We’re often asked to deal with intake sections clogged with outdoor debris and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays, across dampers and louvres, filter sections and heating and cooling coils.
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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Three Leg Cross
Is Three Leg Cross in your area for AHU cleaning?
Yes, we work in Three Leg Cross and the places around it. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day of the survey details.
Can you get to a site in Three Leg Cross?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Three Leg Cross included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We will flag anything we notice during the clean.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: 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 set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Three Leg Cross
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we’ve finished. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to make sure it stays clear.
Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Three Leg Cross before we set off.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Three Leg Cross’s nearest hospital, Ticehurst House Hospital, is about 0.5 miles south-west. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital.
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Three Leg Cross, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Ticehurst House Hospital (about 0.5 miles south-west). Wherever a school like Ticehurst and Flimwell Church of England Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

Around Three Leg Cross

Nearby you will also find Old Scotney Castle (2.5 miles north) and Finchcocks Musical Museum (3.4 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Bewl Water.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Parking and loading at the site
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.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
