How we handle AHU cleaning in Bedlar's Green
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. We look at the unit first, from pictures or a site visit, and give you a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. The work covers heating and cooling coils, drain trays and internal panels, and common reasons people get in touch are intake sections clogged with outdoor debris and air handling units due a clean after building work.
For a building in or near Bedlar's Green, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. The timing of a visit to Bedlar's Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Bedlar's Green
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray doesn’t fall properly, water stands in it, and that is where slime and odours start.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
School buildings such as Birchwood High School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether a written report and photos are included
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Honest limits
AHU cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Dampers and louvres
- Drain trays
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
- Heating and cooling coils
Questions from Bedlar's Green
Can a school’s ventilation in Bedlar's Green be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural 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 Bedlar's Green. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Bedlar's Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, and new panels can be fitted.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
What happens if it’s left?
A clean unit feeds cleaner air into the ductwork, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. That makes the next inspection of a building in Bedlar's Green simpler. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, and note any part we couldn’t get to. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
