Farley Hill AHU cleaning
Need AHU cleaning in Farley Hill? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and pictures.
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Air handling units with blocked filters
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, 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. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Farley Hill
Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: air is pulled in, filtered, conditioned and sent out through the ducts. Anything that collects inside the unit can end up in the rooms it serves, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. Common call-outs are for air handling units with blocked filters and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, on supply and extract fans, heating and cooling coils and dampers and louvres.
For a building in or near Farley Hill, 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what AHU cleaning will not do:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Internal panels
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
What the work involves, part by part
Filters
Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. We check them, and clean or change them as agreed in the quote, and clean the filter housing.
Fans and fan sections
The fan section is cleaned with the unit switched off and isolated with your site team.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

What else we do in Farley Hill
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Farley Hill before we set off.
- 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.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Farley Hill?
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, a little more each month.
Look out for any of the following:
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
