About our AHU cleaning in Bullbrook
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures in a report. If you have units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and dirty fans and fan housings, we can put it right, from supply and extract fans, internal panels and dampers and louvres onwards.
For a building near Bullbrook, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The method doesn’t change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

FAQs for Bullbrook
Do you work in villages like Bullbrook?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bullbrook included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can a school’s ventilation in Bullbrook be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Bullbrook, the Food Standards Agency lists about 9 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. Filters are cleaned or changed as agreed in the quote.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
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 it takes a risk-based approach.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
We open each section through its doors and close them securely when we’re done, and check every one is shut.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
What we are called out for in Bullbrook
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
Hospitals such as Heatherwood Hospital (about 1.9 miles east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Bullbrook are no different.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Ventilation in Bullbrook buildings
There are about 9 schools, colleges and universities and about 12 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of central Bullbrook. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. About 28 miles out from central London, Bullbrook is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. About 1.9 miles east of Bullbrook is Heatherwood Hospital, the nearest hospital. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.
If you manage offices or shops near Martins Heron station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours. Classrooms and halls at schools such as Holly Spring Junior School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Bullbrook
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Why deal with it now?
Standing water in a drain tray does not clear itself. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Bullbrook at a time that suits you.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. For a site near Bullbrook, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
Before we arrive
