In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
AHU cleaning in Bentfield Green
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, right in the path of the air going into the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. If you have air handling units with blocked filters and dust built up on fan impellers, we can put it right, from filter sections, supply and extract fans and heating and cooling coils onwards.
Work in a small place like Bentfield Green starts with agreeing access and timings.
A written report with pictures follows every 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.

Part by part
Drain trays
A tray that does not drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and note if the slope or the drain needs attention.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. The intake section gets particular attention.
Why act early in Bentfield Green
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt doesn’t stay put. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, which is why the unit and the ducts are best cleaned together. A fault that closes a site in a village like Bentfield Green affects everyone who depends on it.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll talk you through it.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
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 confirm water is draining away.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
When to call us in Bentfield Green
Whatever surrounds a building in Bentfield Green, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and some travels further into the unit.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
Healthcare buildings such as Herts and Essex Hospital, about 2.9 miles south, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Bentfield Green, yours matters too.

- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
How to prepare
