Surrey · Air handling unit cleaning
Burgh Heath AHU cleaning
Air handling unit cleaning for commercial sites in Burgh Heath and across Surrey. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Report water on the plant room floor
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.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air instead of leaving it to guesswork.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Burgh Heath
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, right in the path of the air going into the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. If you have air handling units never cleaned inside and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, we can put it right, from dampers and louvres, supply and extract fans and drain trays onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Part by part
Drain trays
Standing water in a tray sits right where the air passes. We clean it and note if the slope or the drain needs attention.
Rooftop and plant room units
Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Burgh Heath, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
Burgh Heath: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Burgh Heath?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Burgh Heath needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Burgh Heath?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Burgh Heath is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
Leave it or put it right?
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, especially where there’s been moisture. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Why us?
- We diagnose before we treat
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Full insurance on every job
