About our AHU cleaning in East Wellow
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 dirty coils holding back the airflow and air handling units never cleaned inside, we can help.
Somewhere as small as East Wellow, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Do you need AHU cleaning in East Wellow?
No filter stops everything. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, building up layer by layer.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
Wherever a school like Wellow School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like East Wellow.
- We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
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.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to confirm water is draining away.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
What the work involves, part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. The intake section gets particular attention.
Common questions in East Wellow
Is East Wellow within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, East Wellow included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can the work in East Wellow be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. Cleaning the unit and ducts together often makes sense, and we can survey both on the same visit.
Do you repair air handling units?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We’ll flag anything we notice during the clean.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from intake to discharge, including coils, fan and drain trays. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
TR19® Air takes a risk-based approach, so it depends on inspection rather than a fixed interval. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.
