How we handle AHU cleaning in Broad Street Green
An air handling unit is the heart of a building’s ventilation: air is pulled in, filtered, conditioned and sent out through the ducts. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. If you have units that have only ever had filter changes and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs, we can help, from filter sections, heating and cooling coils and drain trays onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Broad Street Green, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, based on what we found. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air instead of leaving it to guesswork.
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Broad Street Green
Do you work overnight in Broad Street Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover smaller places like Broad Street Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Somewhere like Broad Street Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
How we price AHU cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

What the work involves, part by part
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and clean the filter housing.
Internal casing and panels
We open each section through its doors and close them securely when we’re done before the unit is handed back.
When to call us in Broad Street Green
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray doesn’t fall properly, water stands in it, and slime and smells soon follow.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
Ventilation work in and around Broad Street Green is risk-based: inspect, then clean what needs it.
