AHU cleaning in Bradwell
An air handling unit is the heart of a building’s ventilation: it draws air in, filters it, heats or cools it and pushes it round the ductwork. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. The work covers heating and cooling coils, dampers and louvres and filter sections, and people most often call us about units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and filters that are clogged or overdue.
For a building near Bradwell, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Bradwell
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

Bradwell: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Bradwell?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Bradwell keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can ventilation in schools around Bradwell 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 20 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Bradwell. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. Any faults we notice are recorded so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
Why deal with it now?
Facilities teams are often asked for evidence that the ventilation is looked after. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. When a site near Bradwell shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Why us?
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- A written report with photos after every visit

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

How the job changes from site to site
Drain trays
Older trays can corrode and start leaking. Their condition goes into the report with pictures so repairs can be planned.
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe in agreement with the site.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
Stick to the filter change schedule, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Everything the job in Bradwell needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- 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.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
