About our AHU cleaning in Camulodunum
We clean air handling units for buildings in Camulodunum and across Essex, working to TR19® Air, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. If you have fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and units that have only ever had filter changes, we can help, from internal panels, heating and cooling coils and drain trays onwards.
Many schools and offices in a town like Camulodunum have a mix of older and newer ventilation. An inspection shows which parts need cleaning, so you’re not paying for more than the system needs.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price AHU cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
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 will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. We arrive in Camulodunum once you’ve closed and leave the site ready for the morning.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- 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
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Advice
When to call us in Camulodunum
Filters that are not changed or cleaned on time clog up, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
Healthcare buildings such as Essex County Hospital, about 0.8 miles east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Camulodunum, yours matters too.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the quote shows VAT
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Camulodunum and across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Part by part
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.
Drain trays
A tray that doesn’t drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and note if the slope or the drain needs attention.
