AHU cleaning in Emery Down, done properly
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 are not flattened. If you are dealing with odours coming through the supply air and dirty coils holding back the airflow, we can help.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, based on what we found. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Emery Down?
Filters that are not changed or cleaned on time clog up, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Odours coming through the supply air
School buildings such as St Michael and All Angels CofE Infant School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.

What else we do in Emery Down
What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the AHU cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. In a small place like Emery Down, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- 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 photos and issue the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Part by part
Filters
Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and clean the filter housing.
Heating and cooling coils
Cooling coils stay damp in use, so dirt on them can turn sticky. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.
