Filters
Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. We check them, and clean or change them as agreed in the quote, and the housing around them is cleaned too.

Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.
About our AHU cleaning in Boughton Aluph
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. 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. The work covers filter sections, supply and extract fans and drain trays, and people most often call us about intake sections clogged with outdoor debris and dust-coated heating and cooling coils.
For a building in or near Boughton Aluph, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Leave it or put it right?
A clean unit feeds cleaner air into the ductwork, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. That makes the next inspection of a building in Boughton Aluph simpler. Planning a trip to Boughton Aluph ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What AHU cleaning looks like in Boughton Aluph
About 3.7 miles south of Boughton Aluph is William Harvey Hospital, the nearest hospital. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale. Boughton Aluph is about 48 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Wye School are easiest to work in when pupils are away. Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like William Harvey Hospital (about 3.7 miles south) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to confirm water is draining away.
Don’t let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Boughton Aluph
Will you come out to Boughton Aluph?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Boughton Aluph is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work in Boughton Aluph outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Boughton Aluph keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
TR19® Air takes a risk-based approach, so it depends on inspection rather than a fixed interval. We recommend a next date in each report.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, so we plan it for a time that suits the building.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, and any sections we can’t reach are noted in the report, with new panels fitted where necessary.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit 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 Boughton Aluph before we set off.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
