How the job changes from site to site
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. They’re cleaned using methods that will not bend or flatten the fins.
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Axmansford
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. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins aren’t flattened. The work covers drain trays, internal panels and filter sections, and the jobs we see most are units that have only ever had filter changes and dust built up on fan impellers.
In a village or hamlet like Axmansford, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Common questions in Axmansford
Can ventilation in schools around Axmansford be cleaned out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Axmansford. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Can the work in Axmansford be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Axmansford needn’t be disturbed. When you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
Expect it to take half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. The unit’s size and condition make the biggest difference, and the quote will give you a clear idea.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. The fan must be stopped and the unit isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Axmansford
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Axmansford.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
