Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

About our AHU cleaning in Wineham
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. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. If you have plant that has been serviced but not cleaned and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, we can help.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Cooling coils stay damp in use, so dirt on them can turn sticky. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.
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.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Wineham and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Wineham
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.
What we are most often called out for:
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
In Wineham, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.
Comparing quotes
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- If they look at the system before pricing
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Wineham
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. 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 drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
There’s no standard 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 get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Wineham
Do you cover Wineham for AHU cleaning?
Yes, we work in Wineham and the places around it. Get in touch with the details and we will arrange a survey.
Can you come to Wineham after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Wineham does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. We agree the timing with your site team.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Wineham?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, taking into account how dirty it was. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
