AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Alkerton
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. If you are dealing with fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and air handling units due a clean after building work, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Alkerton, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can quote for both.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.

What else we do in Alkerton
What the work involves, part by part

Alkerton questions
Can you come to Alkerton after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Alkerton keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Is AHU cleaning available in Alkerton?
Yes, Alkerton is covered. Get in touch with the details and we’ll arrange a survey.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. Cleaning the unit and ducts together often makes sense, and we can quote for both.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
That is set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we will survey first.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Somewhere as small as Alkerton, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
