AHU cleaning in Beenham Stocks
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, in the airstream that feeds the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. If you have odours coming through the supply air and condensate trays that won’t empty, we can help.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

FAQs for Beenham Stocks
Is AHU cleaning available in Beenham Stocks?
Yes, we work in Beenham Stocks and the places around it. Get in touch with the details and we will arrange a survey.
Will you come out to Beenham Stocks?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
Expect it to take a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Size, layout and how dirty it is decide the rest, and the quote will give you a clear idea.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. The shutdown is planned with whoever runs the building.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes, both a certificate and a report with photos. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to confirm water is draining away.
Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Somewhere as small as Beenham Stocks, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Related advice
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Beenham Stocks
Air handling units are typically tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. It’s easy for a long time to go by without anyone opening the panels.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
Wherever a school like Beenham Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- If they look at the system before pricing
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The scale of the work
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What happens if it’s left?
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. Planning a trip to Beenham Stocks ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Why us?
- Fully insured
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- We diagnose before we treat
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
