AHU cleaning in Curling Tye Green
We clean air handling units for buildings in Curling Tye Green and across Essex, working to TR19® Air, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. Common call-outs are for air handling units never cleaned inside and leaves and litter drawn into the unit, on filter sections, heating and cooling coils and dampers and louvres.
Work in a small place like Curling Tye Green starts with agreeing access and timings.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why it’s worth doing now in Curling Tye Green
Facilities teams are often asked for evidence that the ventilation is looked after. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Somewhere like Curling Tye Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Advice
Part by part
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe in agreement with the site.
Filters
Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.

Curling Tye Green questions
Can you get to a site in Curling Tye Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to Curling Tye Green after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Curling Tye Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
Stick to the filter change schedule, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
How we price AHU cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Want a quote for AHU cleaning? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
