FAQs for Yalding
Can you come to Yalding after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Yalding keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Yalding in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Yalding. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. Cleaning the unit and ducts together often makes sense, and we can survey both on the same visit.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Yalding
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. If you have dirty fans and fan housings and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake, we can help.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Yalding’s nearest hospital, Oakwood Hospital, is about 3.7 miles north-east. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.

Leave it or put it right?
Standing water in a drain tray does not clear itself. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. In a place like Yalding, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, because good filters protect everything downstream. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.

- How many systems or sites are involved

How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere like Yalding, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice
Also in Yalding
What we’re called out for in Yalding
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray does not fall properly, water stands in it, and slime and smells soon follow.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Drain trays holding standing water
Oakwood Hospital, about 3.7 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Yalding, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether they’re fully insured
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
