Part by part
Fans and fan sections
Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. Cleaning keeps it running as intended.
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and clean the filter housing.
AHU cleaning in Beech Hill, done properly
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, right in the path of the air going into the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. The work covers internal panels, heating and cooling coils and filter sections, and people most often call us about blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and dirty fans and fan housings.
In a village or hamlet like Beech Hill, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Beech Hill
Do you need AHU cleaning in Beech Hill?
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
For schools like Lambs Lane Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Why deal with it now?
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. If the system at a site near Beech Hill fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.

Beech Hill questions
Do you work overnight in Beech Hill?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Is Beech Hill within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Beech Hill included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
That’s set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Beech Hill run smoothly.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Dampers and louvres
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can quote for both.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air instead of leaving it to guesswork.

Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. At about 40 miles from central London, Beech Hill sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Royal Berkshire Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 5.5 miles north of Beech Hill.
