How we handle AHU cleaning in Broom Street
Where a building in Broom Street has had little more than filter changes, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. The work covers filter sections, supply and extract fans and heating and cooling coils, and common reasons people get in touch are fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and dirty coils holding back the airflow.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Common problems we fix in Broom Street
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For the people using the building every day, that’s the air they breathe for hours on end.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
Hospitals such as Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (about 5.6 miles north-east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Broom Street are no different.

Broom Street questions
Will you come out to Broom Street?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Broom Street is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can a school’s ventilation in Broom Street be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Broom Street. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
Under TR19® Air, cleaning is led by inspection and risk rather than a set calendar. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How long will the unit be out of action?
The work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Large plant can be split over several shifts, and you can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email to plan it.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due instead of leaving it to guesswork.
When something else is needed
AHU cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans

How we price AHU cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the AHU cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Broom Street, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
