AHU cleaning in Devil's Den, done properly
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with pictures, so the report shows exactly what was done. The work covers filter sections, heating and cooling coils and dampers and louvres, and people most often call us about leaves and litter drawn into the unit and stale or musty smells from the ventilation.
Work in a small place like Devil's Den starts with agreeing access and timings.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

The process
There are three stages on the day: 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. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Devil's Den can be planned properly.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system

When to call us in Devil's Den
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and that’s where slime and odours start.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Odours coming through the supply air
In Devil's Den, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.
What your quote should include
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the figure could change on the day
FAQs for Devil's Den
Do you cover Devil's Den for AHU cleaning?

How long will the unit be out of action?
Expect it to take anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. The unit’s size and condition make the biggest difference, and we will confirm the time when we quote.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, with new panels fitted where needed.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
TR19® Air takes a risk-based approach, so it depends on inspection rather than a fixed interval. We recommend a next date in each report.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.
Part by part
Drain trays
The drain tray collects water from the cooling coil. Standing water and slime are removed and the outlet is checked.
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. Cleaning keeps it running as intended.
What AHU cleaning cannot fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
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.
