About our AHU cleaning in Burwash Common
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins are not flattened. The work covers dampers and louvres, drain trays and heating and cooling coils, and the jobs we see most are rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and air handling units with blocked filters.
In a village or hamlet like Burwash Common, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Cooling coils stay damp in use, so dirt on them can turn sticky. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Stick to the filter change plan
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Burwash Common before we set off.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- 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.
How to prepare

- Clear loose items from the work area

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Burwash Common
Will you come out to Burwash Common?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Burwash Common is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Burwash Common?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Burwash Common needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
TR19® Air takes a risk-based approach, so it depends on inspection rather than a fixed interval. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How long will the unit be out of action?
Typically the clean takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. We plan the shutdown around that, including evenings or weekends.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
What we’re called out for in Burwash Common
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. 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:
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Dirty fans and fan housings
Ventilation work in and around Burwash Common is risk-based: inspect, then clean what needs it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
