How we handle AHU cleaning in Brick Hill
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, right in the path of the air going into the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. If you’re dealing with plant that needs cleaning after a refit and condensate trays that won’t empty, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Brick Hill starts with agreeing access and timings.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, 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.

FAQs for Brick Hill
Can you come to Brick Hill after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Brick Hill needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Can a school’s ventilation in Brick Hill be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Brick Hill. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. We agree the timing with your site team.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Is Brick Hill in your area?
Yes. We cover Brick Hill and across Surrey, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, including anything we think needs attention.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Brick Hill
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.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Common problems we fix in Brick Hill
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray does not fall properly, water stands in it, and slime and smells soon follow.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
If you manage a school such as Valley End CofE Infant School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Heating and cooling coils
- Dampers and louvres
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
- Filter sections
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
Stick to the filter change schedule, because good filters protect everything downstream. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due, rather than waiting for a problem.
What the work involves, part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.
Filters
Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Somewhere as small as Brick Hill, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
