How we handle AHU cleaning in Cooksbridge
Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: air is pulled in, filtered, conditioned and sent out through the ducts. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. If you have units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and stale or musty smells from the ventilation, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Cooksbridge starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Common questions in Cooksbridge
Will you come out to Cooksbridge?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Cooksbridge included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is AHU cleaning available in Cooksbridge?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Cooksbridge is part of that. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few photos of the system.
Can you clean without disrupting the building?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and weekends, so the building keeps running in the day.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What do you clean inside the unit?
The main parts are the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and inside of the casing. The survey confirms what’s in your unit before we quote.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, including anything we think needs attention.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cooksbridge
Dirt left in an air handling unit doesn’t stay in the unit. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, which is why the unit and the ducts are best cleaned together. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Different parts, different methods
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
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
