What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
About our AHU cleaning in Brunswick
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with pictures, so the report shows exactly what was done. Common call-outs are for plant that has been serviced but not cleaned and dust-coated heating and cooling coils, across filter sections, heating and cooling coils and drain trays.
Around a place like Brunswick, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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. That is our job.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Brunswick
Can you come to Brunswick after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Can a school’s ventilation in Brunswick be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Brunswick, the Food Standards Agency lists about 32 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes, the ductwork, grilles and diffusers the unit serves. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
The main parts are the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and inside of the casing. We confirm the scope after looking at the unit.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
When we’ve closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to make sure it stays clear.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
AHU cleaning around Brunswick
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 32 schools, colleges and universities, about 87 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 49 hotels and guest houses serving food within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Brunswick. Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. Brunswick’s nearest hospital, Montefiore Hospital, is about 0.5 miles north. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital. At about 47 miles from central London, Brunswick sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Healthcare buildings such as Montefiore Hospital, about 0.5 miles north, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Brunswick, yours matters too. Wherever a school like St Mary Magdalen Catholic Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Brunswick
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
