AHU cleaning in Bishopstone, done properly
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, right in the path of the air going into the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. Typical jobs include units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and units that have only ever had filter changes, on drain trays, dampers and louvres and internal panels.
In a village or hamlet like Bishopstone, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How the job changes from site to site
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
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 work begins, 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. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Bishopstone can be planned properly.
- We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Book the next check in line with the report
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can survey both.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
Bishopstone questions
Do you work at weekends in Bishopstone?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Bishopstone keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can ventilation in schools around Bishopstone be cleaned out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 6 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Bishopstone. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.
Do you cover Bishopstone?
Yes. We cover Bishopstone and across Buckinghamshire, within our South East and London area. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

Other services in Bishopstone
Common problems we fix in Bishopstone
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it doesn’t always include cleaning the inside. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
Look out for any of the following:
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
Classrooms and halls at schools such as The Mandeville School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
