- Odours coming through the supply air

What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the AHU cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. In a small place like Balls Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

How we handle AHU cleaning in Balls Green
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. Every job starts with a survey, from photos or on site, followed by a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. The work covers dampers and louvres, filter sections and internal panels, and common reasons people get in touch are plant that needs cleaning after a refit and dirty coils holding back the airflow.
In a village or hamlet like Balls Green, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
For AHU cleaning in Balls Green, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
How the job changes from site to site
Drain trays
Condensate from the coil drips into a tray beneath it. We clear standing water, clean out slime and check the outlet is draining.
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. We photograph them for the report.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Under TR19® Air, cleaning is led by inspection and risk rather than a set calendar. We recommend a next date in each report.

They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, based on what we found. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
