AHU cleaning in Bexon, done properly
No two plant rooms are the same, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. Every job starts with a survey, from photos or on site, followed by a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. The work covers filter sections, supply and extract fans and heating and cooling coils, and common reasons people get in touch are plant that has been serviced but not cleaned and dust-coated heating and cooling coils.
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, trading since 2009.

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Bexon before we set off.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- 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.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.

FAQs for Bexon
Can you get to a site in Bexon?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bexon is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you clean school ventilation in Bexon during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Bexon. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Can you clean the AHU out of hours?
Yes. We time the work to fit the building’s hours. In hospitals and care homes, we agree timings with the site team.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What do you clean inside the unit?
Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. Filters are cleaned or changed as agreed in the quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Bexon
An AHU’s intake draws in outdoor air and everything in it: dust, pollen, leaves and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and the finer material travels on.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
Wherever a school like Bredgar Church of England Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered

What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we will tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Drain trays
- Filter sections
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
- Internal panels
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Where the site is and how we reach it
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. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
For AHU cleaning in Bexon, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, based on what we found. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Don’t let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
