AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Astwood
Our AHU cleans for sites in Astwood cover the parts that collect dirt: 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. If you have dirty fans and fan housings and dirty filters cutting the airflow, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Astwood, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Common problems we fix in Astwood
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and slime and smells soon follow.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
An inspection comes first for any ventilation job around Astwood, so the cleaning matches what’s there.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased, and we clear up before we go. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Astwood.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- 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.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

What staff can safely do
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. That is our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can quote for both.
Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
What AHU cleaning cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
