AHU cleaning in Ashampstead, done properly
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. If you have coils clogged with dust and debris and units that have only ever had filter changes, we can put it right, from supply and extract fans, dampers and louvres and internal panels onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
Mechanical repairs to the unit are for your HVAC maintenance contractor. We clean the unit and report anything we see that needs attention.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What happens if it’s left?
A clean unit feeds cleaner air into the ductwork, so the whole system stays cleaner for longer. That makes the next inspection of a building in Ashampstead simpler. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Ashampstead is calmer for everyone.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what AHU cleaning will not do:
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Ashampstead.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.

How the job changes from site to site
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. Cleaning keeps it running as intended.
Heating and cooling coils
Cooling coils stay damp in use, so dirt on them can turn sticky. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What affects the quote in Ashampstead
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
