AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Broad Green
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, with the unit switched off and made safe first. We are often asked to deal with coils clogged with dust and debris and air handling units never cleaned inside, across supply and extract fans, dampers and louvres and internal panels.
In a village or hamlet like Broad Green, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Broad Green
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Broad Green and across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, because good filters protect everything downstream. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
What we’re called out for in Broad Green
No filter stops everything. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, building up layer by layer.
Look out for any of the following:
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
For buildings in and around Broad Green, TR19® Air cleaning starts with an inspection.

Different parts, different methods
Rooftop and plant room units
Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. We protect the area below before opening them.
Drain trays
Condensate from the coil drips into a tray beneath it. Standing water and slime are removed and the outlet is checked.
What happens on the day
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. On site, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. In a small place like Broad Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We survey the unit from pictures 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.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

Why act early in Broad Green
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. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Broad Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will explain what it covers.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
