About our AHU cleaning in Bardfield End Green
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures in a report. If you have condensate trays that won’t empty and dirty filters cutting the airflow, we can put it right, from heating and cooling coils, internal panels and drain trays onwards.
Work in a small place like Bardfield End Green starts with agreeing access and timings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Bardfield End Green can be planned properly.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Why deal with it now?
When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the whole system stays cleaner for longer. It also means the next inspection has less to find. A planned visit to Bardfield End Green is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Why book with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Fully insured
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How the job changes from site to site
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. We photograph them for the report.
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.
Common questions in Bardfield End Green
Do you work overnight in Bardfield End Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Bardfield End Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Bardfield End Green in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Bardfield End Green. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and we’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
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 confirm water is draining away.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air instead of leaving it to guesswork.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bardfield End Green
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
