- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Coils clogged with dust and debris

How we handle AHU cleaning in Cooper's Green
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. We are often asked to deal with dust-coated heating and cooling coils and dirty fans and fan housings, on heating and cooling coils, internal panels and filter sections.
In a village or hamlet like Cooper's Green, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. For a village or hamlet like Cooper's Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the work

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
Heating and cooling coils
Cooling coils stay damp in use, so dirt on them can turn sticky. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.
What affects the quote in Cooper's Green
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
