AHU Cleaning in Cutlers Green
AHU cleaning across Cutlers Green and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Air handling units with blocked filters
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
About our AHU cleaning in Cutlers Green
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. If you have odours coming through the supply air and air handling units with blocked filters, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Cutlers Green, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Cutlers Green
Air handling units are usually tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. It’s easy for a long time to go by without anyone opening the panels.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
Wherever a school like Thaxted Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What records you will receive afterwards

Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what AHU cleaning will not do:
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers

How we price AHU cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
