How we handle AHU cleaning in Abbess Roding
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, right in the path of the air going into the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. If you have leaves and litter drawn into the unit and air handling units with blocked filters, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Abbess Roding starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What the work involves, part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. We clean them with care so the fins aren’t damaged.
What happens if it’s left?
If people in a building in Abbess Roding complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. In a place like Abbess Roding, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
FAQs for Abbess Roding
Can the work in Abbess Roding be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Abbess Roding keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is Abbess Roding within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Abbess Roding included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can quote for both.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
The main parts are the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and inside of the casing. The survey confirms what’s in your unit before we quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
That is set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
How we price AHU cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What AHU cleaning can’t fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
