Fans and fan sections
The fan section is cleaned with the unit switched off and isolated with your site team.
AHU cleaning in East End Green
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins aren’t flattened. If you have dirty fans and fan housings and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs, we can help.
For a building in or near East End Green, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
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.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near East End Green, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- 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.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- 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
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

When to call us in East End Green
It matters for two reasons: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For the people using the building every day, that is the air they breathe for hours on end.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
Wherever a school like Hertingfordbury Cowper Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

FAQs for East End Green
Can ventilation in schools around East End Green be cleaned out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of East End Green. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you come to East End Green after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in East End Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, and any sections we cannot reach are noted in the report, with new panels fitted where necessary.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What happens if it’s left?
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, particularly where damp has made it stick. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
