AHU cleaning in Cassiobury, done properly
Where a building in Cassiobury has had little more than filter changes, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full clean deals with all of it. If you are dealing with dirty coils holding back the airflow and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays, we can put it right.
Smaller buildings around Cassiobury often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, out of sight and easy to overlook. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Questions from Cassiobury
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Cassiobury in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 39 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Cassiobury, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Will you come out to Cassiobury?
Yes, Cassiobury is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How long does an AHU clean take?
Typically the clean takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. The shutdown is planned to fit, including evenings or weekends.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Different parts, different methods
Heating and cooling coils
Heating and cooling coils have tightly packed fins that trap fine dust. We clean them with care so the fins are not damaged.
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. We check them, and clean or change them as agreed in the quote, and the housing around them is cleaned too.
Why deal with it now?
Tenants, auditors and owners may want proof that the air handling plant is kept clean. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Cassiobury
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.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we’ve finished. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to confirm water is draining away.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. A site near Cassiobury normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- 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.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
