AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Denham
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. Common call-outs are for coils clogged with dust and debris and units that have only ever had filter changes, across internal panels, supply and extract fans and drain trays.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Make sure condensate is draining away
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, based on what we found. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due, rather than waiting for a problem.

Why deal with it now?
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, particularly where damp has made it stick. A planned visit to Denham is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Visits to a village like Denham are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
