AHU cleaning in Westdean
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. Common call-outs are for odours coming through the supply air and plant that needs cleaning after a refit, across dampers and louvres, drain trays and filter sections.
In a village or hamlet like Westdean, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe in agreement with the site.
Internal casing and panels
Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.
Why deal with it now?
Facilities teams are often asked for evidence that the ventilation is looked after. Our certificate and photo report give you clear evidence, ready to show anyone who asks. Planning a trip to Westdean ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Westdean.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.

Advice
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Westdean
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 the finer material travels on.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital (about 3.9 miles west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of insurance
- Whether VAT is included
Westdean questions
Can the work in Westdean be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Westdean keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Is AHU cleaning available in Westdean?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Westdean included. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with a few details of the site.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. We cannot clean a running unit, so it’s switched off and made safe first. The shutdown is planned with whoever runs the building.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes, the ductwork, grilles and diffusers the unit serves. We will tell you after the survey whether the ducts need it.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what AHU cleaning will not do:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Building management system faults
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
