How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the AHU cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. The timing of a visit to Burcot is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

AHU cleaning in Burcot
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. Typical jobs include plant that needs cleaning after a refit and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake, across supply and extract fans, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils.
Somewhere as small as Burcot, ducted ventilation is typically 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Burcot questions
Will you come out to Burcot?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Burcot is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is Burcot in your area for AHU cleaning?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Burcot included. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day of the survey details.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What do you clean inside the unit?
We clean the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and internal casing. Filters are cleaned or changed as agreed in the quote.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, with any faults we noticed.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with photos where it helps.
What does TR19 mean?
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- What state the system is in
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

Different parts, different methods
Heating and cooling coils
Cooling coils stay damp in use, so dirt on them can turn sticky. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.
Drain trays
Drain trays can rust and leak over time. Their condition goes into the report with pictures so repairs can be planned.
When to call us in Burcot
Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids, so they’re easy to forget about. It’s easy for a long time to go by without anyone opening the panels.
Look out for any of the following:
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
School buildings such as Abbey Woods Academy are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.
