AHU Cleaning in Feering
AHU cleaning for Feering, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones, and we clear up before we go. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Feering before we set off.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- 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 pictures.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

About our AHU cleaning in Feering
An air handling unit is the heart of a building’s ventilation: 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 condensate trays that won’t empty, across heating and cooling coils, dampers and louvres and drain trays.
In a village or hamlet like Feering, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Feering questions
Do you cover smaller places like Feering?
Yes, Feering is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you work in Feering outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Feering needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, and any sections we can’t reach are noted in the report, with new panels fitted where needed.
What affects the quote in Feering
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
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 work begins.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
How the job changes from site to site
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.
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. Anything like that is recorded with pictures.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
When we’ve closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to confirm water is draining away.
Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Feering
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
