The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a place like Broadwater, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

How we handle AHU cleaning in Broadwater
Where a building in Broadwater has had little more than filter changes, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. Typical jobs include debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and stale or musty smells from the ventilation, across filter sections, drain trays and internal panels.
In a smaller place like Broadwater, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can survey both.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.

Leave it or put it right?
Tenants, auditors and owners may want proof that the air handling plant is kept clean. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. A quieter site near Broadwater still needs its system looked after.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we will tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

When to call us in Broadwater
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For the people using the building every day, that’s the air they breathe for hours on end.
Look out for any of the following:
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
Wherever a school like Broadwater CofE Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
