An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what AHU cleaning won’t do:

About our AHU cleaning in Chiswell Green
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. The work covers drain trays, internal panels and dampers and louvres, and the jobs we see most are coils clogged with dust and debris and leaves and litter drawn into the unit.
Smaller buildings around Chiswell Green often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, where they’re easy to forget. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What else we do in Chiswell Green
How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. In a place like Chiswell Green, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- 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. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
What happens if it’s left?
If people in a building in Chiswell Green complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. A planned visit to Chiswell Green fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Chiswell Green?
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it doesn’t always include cleaning the inside. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
If you manage a school such as Killigrew Primary and Nursery School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
Before booking anyone
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When the next visit should be, and why
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What the work involves, part by part
Drain trays
The drain tray collects water from the cooling coil. Standing water and slime are removed and the outlet is checked.
Filters
Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. The filter section is cleaned so new or cleaned filters sit properly.
