AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Cooling
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after photos in a report. If you are dealing with odours coming through the supply air and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake, we can help, from heating and cooling coils, dampers and louvres and filter sections onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Cooling, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Cooling
Do you work overnight in Cooling?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work in villages like Cooling?
Yes, Cooling is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. The fan must be stopped and the unit isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
Under TR19® Air, cleaning is led by inspection and risk rather than a set calendar. We recommend a next date in each report.
Leave it or put it right?
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. Planning a trip to Cooling ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why us?
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Fully insured
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- A written report with photos after each visit
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Cooling
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Different parts, different methods
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. We clean the impeller, housing and surrounding section.
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. The intake section gets particular attention.

Other services in Cooling
Do you need AHU cleaning in Cooling?
An AHU’s intake draws in outdoor air and everything in it: dust, pollen, leaves and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and some travels further into the unit.
What we are most often called out for:
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
For buildings in and around Cooling, TR19® Air cleaning starts with an inspection.
What your quote should include
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Cooling and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
