In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
AHU cleaning in Aspley Guise, done properly
No two plant rooms are the same, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. Every job starts with a survey, from photos or on site, followed by a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. The work covers internal panels, drain trays and dampers and louvres, and the jobs we see most are plant that needs cleaning after a refit and dust-coated heating and cooling coils.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
The work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Bigger units can be phased, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line to talk it through.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

When should our AHU next be cleaned?
That’s 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.

What else we do in Aspley Guise
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. In a small place like Aspley Guise, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we have finished. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to make sure it stays clear.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
Why act early in Aspley Guise
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. Somewhere as small as Aspley Guise, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

Part by part
Internal casing and panels
We open each section through its doors and close them securely when we are done before the unit is handed back.
