- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
What we are called out for in Bartley
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray does not fall properly, water stands in it, and slime and smells soon follow.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
School buildings such as Bartley Church of England Junior School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bartley
An air handling unit is the heart of a building’s ventilation: it draws air in, filters it, heats or cools it and pushes it round the ductwork. Anything that collects inside the unit can end up in the rooms it serves, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. We’re often asked to deal with dirty coils holding back the airflow and air handling units due a clean after building work, across drain trays, dampers and louvres and filter sections.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What we work on in Bartley
- Filter sections
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels
Different parts, different methods
Internal casing and panels
Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. We note any we find in the report.
Fans and fan sections
The fan moves all of the unit’s air, so dirt on it gets spread around. We clean the impeller, housing and surrounding section.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
When we’ve 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.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.

- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
