Part by part
Drain trays
Standing water in a tray sits right where the air passes. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
AHU cleaning in Berrick Salome
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. The work covers supply and extract fans, filter sections and drain trays, and the jobs we see most are debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and air handling units with blocked filters.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Berrick Salome?
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For the people using the building every day, that’s the air they breathe for hours on end.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
Around Berrick Salome, an air handling unit’s drain tray is checked for standing water as a matter of course.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Berrick Salome
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Common questions in Berrick Salome
Can you work in Berrick Salome outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Berrick Salome needn’t be disturbed. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Will you come out to Berrick Salome?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Berrick Salome included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How long does an AHU clean take?
Typically the clean takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. We plan the shutdown around that, out of hours if needed.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, and any sections we cannot reach are noted in the report, with new panels fitted where necessary.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and we will suggest an interval after the first clean.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What does TR19 mean?
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, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Berrick Salome.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
