AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Coggeshall Hamlet
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, with the unit switched off and made safe first. If you have coils clogged with dust and debris and odours coming through the supply air, we can put it right, from supply and extract fans, heating and cooling coils and drain trays onwards.
Work in a small place like Coggeshall Hamlet starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What else we do in Coggeshall Hamlet
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem 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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Stick to the filter change plan
When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to confirm water is draining away.
Don’t let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.

Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Coggeshall Hamlet in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Coggeshall Hamlet. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.

Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Coggeshall Hamlet?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from intake to discharge, including coils, fan and drain trays. The photo report shows each section before and after.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Coggeshall Hamlet
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, building up layer by layer.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
In Coggeshall Hamlet, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of insurance
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a survey comes first
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, particularly where damp has made it stick. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. They’re cleaned using methods that will not bend or flatten the fins.
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.
