AHU cleaning in Belsize
Our AHU cleans for sites in Belsize cover the parts that collect dirt: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. Common call-outs are for air handling units due a clean after building work and dirty fans and fan housings, across supply and extract fans, dampers and louvres and filter sections.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why deal with it now?
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt doesn’t stay put. It moves on into the ductwork and out into the rooms, which is why the unit and the ducts are best cleaned together. It’s simpler to plan the work at Belsize now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What AHU cleaning looks like in Belsize
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities registered as food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Belsize. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. Belsize’s nearest hospital, Hemel Hempstead Hospital, is about 4 miles north.

We cover Belsize, about 22 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. The timing of a visit to Belsize is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Related advice
What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Belsize?
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Sarratt Church of England Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes, both a certificate and a report with photos. The report also suggests when the unit should next be inspected.
