AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Arford
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. The work covers dampers and louvres, drain trays and supply and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are coils clogged with dust and debris and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs.
Somewhere as small as Arford, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
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 carry full insurance.

What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the AHU cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Arford, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

What affects the quote in Arford
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What AHU cleaning looks like in Arford
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 4 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises serving food across Arford and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. At about 41 miles from central London, Arford sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. The nearest hospital to Arford is Chase Community Hospital, about 2.3 miles south-west. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital.
Classrooms and halls at schools such as The Holme Church of England Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training 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 the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Arford: your questions answered
Is Arford in your area for AHU cleaning?
Yes, Arford is covered. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few details of the site.
Can you come to Arford after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Arford does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Every section that collects dirt: filters, coils, tray, fan and panels. The survey confirms what’s in your unit before we quote.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, and new panels can be fitted.
How long will the unit be out of action?
The work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Large plant can be split over several shifts, and you can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us to plan it.
What we are called out for in Arford
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it does not always include cleaning the inside. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Odours coming through the supply air
Chase Community Hospital, about 2.3 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Arford, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Arford
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Different parts, different methods
Drain trays
A tray that does not drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. They’re cleaned using methods that won’t bend or flatten the fins.
