- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to make sure it stays clear.
Don’t let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Ballards Gore
Our AHU cleans for sites in Ballards Gore cover the parts that collect dirt: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after photos in a report. The work covers filter sections, internal panels and drain trays, and people most often call us about dust-coated heating and cooling coils and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake.
For a building in or near Ballards Gore, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What else we do in Ballards Gore
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ballards Gore

Do you need AHU cleaning in Ballards Gore?
Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids, so they’re easy to forget about. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
Wherever a school like King Edmund School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Rooftop and plant room units
Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. Access is planned during the survey so the quote reflects it.
Filters
Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and the housing around them is cleaned too.
