AHU Cleaning in Canada
Air handling unit cleaning for commercial sites in Canada and across Hampshire. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Canada and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
AHU cleaning in Canada, done properly
Our AHU cleans for sites in Canada cover the parts that collect dirt: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. If you have plant that needs cleaning after a refit and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, we can put it right, from heating and cooling coils, dampers and louvres and drain trays onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Canada
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Canada can be planned properly.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

When to call us in Canada
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.
What we are most often called out for:
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
For schools like Wellow School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
What to look for in a quote
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due instead of leaving it to guesswork.
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Canada
Do you work at weekends in Canada?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Canada can fit around your hours. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is Canada within the area you cover?
Yes, Canada is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. We agree the timing with your site team.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you repair air handling units?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We clean the unit and report anything we see that needs attention.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and the report recommends a next date.
How long will the unit be out of action?
The work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Large plant can be split over several shifts, so call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email to talk it through.

Leave it or put it right?
Tenants, auditors and owners may want proof that the air handling plant is kept clean. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, ready to show anyone who asks. Somewhere as small as Canada, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

What the work involves, part by part

Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
