- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Dirty fans and fan housings
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Epping Upland
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins are not flattened. We’re often asked to deal with blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and air handling units with blocked filters, on drain trays, filter sections and heating and cooling coils.
Work in a small place like Epping Upland starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
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, ready for your insurer.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

When to call us in Epping Upland
Whatever surrounds a building in Epping Upland, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and some travels further into the unit.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
If you manage a school such as Epping Upland CofE Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
Before you book anyone
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we’ve finished. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to make sure it stays clear.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
