The process

- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.

AHU cleaning in Church Street
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with photos, so the report shows exactly what was done. We’re often asked to deal with air handling units due a clean after building work and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays, across supply and extract fans, dampers and louvres and filter sections.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Questions from Church Street
Do you work in villages like Church Street?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Church Street is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is Church Street in your area for AHU cleaning?
Yes, Church Street is covered. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day of the survey details.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and we’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with the details in the report.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. Cleaning the unit and ducts together often makes sense, and we can quote for both.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, with any faults we noticed.
What do you clean inside the unit?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from intake to discharge, including coils, fan and drain trays. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What happens if it’s left?
Tenants, auditors and owners may want proof that the air handling plant is kept clean. Our certificate and photo report give you clear evidence, ready to show anyone who asks. Somewhere as small as Church Street, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, based on what we found. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Church Street
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray doesn’t fall properly, water stands in it, and that’s where slime and odours start.
Look out for any of the following:
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
If you manage shops or offices close to Higham station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.

Part by part
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
Filters
Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
