- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Cockpole Green
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, in the airstream that feeds the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. The work covers internal panels, dampers and louvres and drain trays, and people most often call us about condensate trays that won’t empty and coils clogged with dust and debris.
Somewhere as small as Cockpole Green, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

When to call us in Cockpole Green
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 slime and smells soon follow.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
St Mark's Hospital, about 4.5 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Cockpole Green, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

Questions from Cockpole Green
Do you cover smaller places like Cockpole Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Cockpole Green is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work in Cockpole Green outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Cockpole Green keeps running as normal. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you repair air handling units?
We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with photos where it helps.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
As a guide, it takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. We plan the shutdown around that, out of hours if needed.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Leave it or put it right?
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, especially where there’s been moisture. A planned visit to Cockpole Green is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. We note any we find in the report.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. The intake section gets particular attention.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Cockpole Green run smoothly.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
