Questions from Anvil Green
Do you work at weekends in Anvil Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover Anvil Green for AHU cleaning?
Yes, Anvil Green is covered. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with a few details of the site.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How long does an AHU clean take?
As a guide, it takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. The shutdown is planned to fit, including evenings or weekends.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. We cannot clean a running unit, so it’s switched off and made safe first. We agree the timing with your site team.

AHU cleaning in Anvil Green
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with photos, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. Common call-outs are for odours coming through the supply air and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, on internal panels, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.

Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Anvil Green.

Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Related advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What affects the quote in Anvil Green
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
