AHU cleaning in Broadfield, done properly
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, with the unit switched off and made safe first. If you’re dealing with condensate trays that won’t empty and odours coming through the supply air, we can put it right.
For a building near Broadfield, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The method does not change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

What the work involves, part by part
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. We photograph them for the report.
Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.
Why deal with it now?
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt doesn’t stay put. It moves on into the ductwork and out into the rooms, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. When a site near Broadfield shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
FAQs for Broadfield
Can you work in Broadfield outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Broadfield needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Broadfield in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 13 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Broadfield. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can quote for both.
How long does an AHU clean take?
It takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. The unit’s size and condition make the biggest difference, and we will confirm the time when we quote.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a place like Broadfield, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
