AHU cleaning in Broughton
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, in the airstream that feeds the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. The work covers filter sections, internal panels and heating and cooling coils, and people most often call us about coils clogged with dust and debris and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays.
Somewhere as small as Broughton, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Broughton questions
Is Broughton in your area for AHU cleaning?
Yes, we work in Broughton and the places around it. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day of the survey details.
Can the work in Broughton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost 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 we start.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How long will the unit be out of action?
The work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Bigger units can be phased, and you can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line to plan it.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. The fan must be stopped and the unit isolated, so we plan it for a time that suits the building.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes, supply and extract ducts, grilles and diffusers. We will tell you after the survey whether the ducts need it.
How the job changes from site to site
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. We clean the impeller, housing and surrounding section.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Building management system faults
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Drain trays
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Broughton
Filters that aren’t changed or cleaned on time clog up, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Dirty fans and fan housings
Ventilation work in and around Broughton is risk-based: inspect, then clean what needs it.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
