AHU Cleaning in Epwell
AHU cleaning across Epwell and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with photos.
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can survey both.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
About our AHU cleaning in Epwell
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, with the unit switched off and made safe first. Typical jobs include odours coming through the supply air and leaves and litter drawn into the unit, across filter sections, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Epwell.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

- What paperwork you get at the end
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
How we price AHU cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Need a price for AHU cleaning? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
