Questions from Catmore
Do you work overnight in Catmore?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Catmore doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is Catmore within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Catmore included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can survey both on the same visit.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. We agree the timing with your site team.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
All the internal parts the air touches, from intake to discharge, including coils, fan and drain trays. The photo report shows each section before and after.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
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 give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email to talk it through.
AHU cleaning in Catmore
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. If you have units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned, we can help, from internal panels, heating and cooling coils and dampers and louvres onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Catmore, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

When to call us in Catmore
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.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
For buildings in and around Catmore, TR19® Air cleaning starts with an inspection.
What your quote should include
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether the figure could change on the day
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Building management system faults
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Stick to the filter change plan
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, based on what we found. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
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 anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. In a small place like Catmore, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work

What the work involves, part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
Filters
Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. The filter section is cleaned so new or cleaned filters sit properly.
