AHU cleaning in Broomfield
We clean air handling units for buildings in Broomfield and across Kent, working to TR19® Air, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. If you have filters that are clogged or overdue and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned, we can put it right, from supply and extract fans, heating and cooling coils and dampers and louvres onwards.
Somewhere as small as Broomfield, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures 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 Broomfield
An AHU’s intake draws in outdoor air and everything in it: dust, pollen, leaves and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and some travels further into the unit.
What we are most often called out for:
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
Wherever a school like Leeds and Broomfield Church of England Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

Leave it or put it right?
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in Broomfield can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. A fault that closes a site in a village like Broomfield affects everyone who depends on it.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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, which is where we come in.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How the job changes from site to site
Internal casing and panels
We open each section through its doors and close them securely when we are done, and check every one is shut.
Drain trays
Condensate from the coil drips into a tray beneath it. We clear standing water, clean out slime and check the outlet is draining.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Book the next check in line with the report
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Make sure condensate is draining away
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can quote for both.
Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Broomfield knowing what to expect.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote

FAQs for Broomfield
Can you work in Broomfield outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Broomfield keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Broomfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Broomfield?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. Cleaning the unit and ducts together often makes sense, and we can survey both on the same visit.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and the report recommends a next date.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
