When it’s something else
AHU cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Building management system faults
- A system that’s undersized for the building
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
AHU cleaning in Coalhill, done properly
If the units serving a building in Coalhill have only had filter changes for years, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full clean deals with all of it. The work covers heating and cooling coils, drain trays and internal panels, and common reasons people get in touch are filters that are clogged or overdue and plant that needs cleaning after a refit.
In a village or hamlet like Coalhill, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in Coalhill
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, particularly where damp has made it stick. With notice, the visit to Coalhill can be fitted around your bookings and events.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
Drain trays
Condensate from the coil drips into a tray beneath it. Standing water and slime are removed and the outlet is checked.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Make sure condensate is draining away
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them, and we clear up before we go. For a village or hamlet like Coalhill, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
