AHU cleaning in Withdean, done properly
We clean air handling units for buildings in Withdean and across Brighton and Hove, working to TR19® Air, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. If you are dealing with plant that has been serviced but not cleaned and coils clogged with dust and debris, we can help.
In a place like Withdean, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, out of sight and easy to overlook. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Withdean questions
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Withdean in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 46 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Withdean. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work overnight in Withdean?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Withdean doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Is Withdean in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Withdean.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Mechanical repairs to the unit are for your HVAC maintenance contractor. We’ll flag anything we notice during the clean.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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.

Honest limits
AHU cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
- Heating and cooling coils
- Internal panels
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
When we’ve closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to confirm water is draining away.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due, rather than waiting for a problem.
How the job changes from site to site
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe in agreement with the site.
