AHU cleaning in Burpham, done properly
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. Every job starts with a survey, from photos or on site, followed by a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. We are often asked to deal with filters that are clogged or overdue and leaves and litter drawn into the unit, across internal panels, supply and extract fans and heating and cooling coils.
Visits to a place like Burpham are fitted around opening hours. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. In a place like Burpham, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

How the job changes from site to site
Fans and fan sections

Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and clean the filter housing.
Questions from Burpham
Is Burpham within the area you cover?
Yes, Burpham is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work overnight in Burpham?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Burpham can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Every section that collects dirt: filters, coils, tray, fan and panels. The survey confirms what’s in your unit before we quote.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
Under TR19® Air, cleaning is led by inspection and risk rather than a set calendar. We recommend a next date in each report.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes, for the time we are working on it. Out-of-hours work is available so the building isn’t left without ventilation when it’s busy.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What happens if it’s left?
When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the whole system stays cleaner for longer. It also means the next inspection has less to find. A site near Burpham that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Common problems we fix in Burpham
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For the people using the building every day, that’s the air they breathe for hours on end.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
Wherever a school like George Abbot School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
