Medway · Air handling unit cleaning
Cooling Street AHU cleaning
Our technicians work in Cooling Street on cleaning of air handling units, including filters, coils, drain trays, fans and internal surfaces. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air instead of leaving it to guesswork.
AHU cleaning in Cooling Street
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, in the airstream that feeds the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. If you have fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and air handling units with blocked filters, we can help.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Common questions in Cooling Street
Do you clean school ventilation in Cooling Street in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Cooling Street. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you work overnight in Cooling Street?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Cooling Street needn’t be disturbed. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can survey both on the same visit.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
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.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
How the job changes from site to site
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and the housing around them is cleaned too.
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.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- A system that is undersized for the building
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
For AHU cleaning in Cooling Street, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Cooling Street knowing what to expect.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
