Fulbrook AHU cleaning
AHU cleaning across Fulbrook and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with photos.
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Fulbrook
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, with the unit switched off and made safe first. If you are dealing with dirty coils holding back the airflow and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, we can put it right, from drain trays, supply and extract fans and filter sections onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Fulbrook can be planned properly.
- 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.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, next to our reports.
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. Leave those to us.
How we price AHU cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Fulbrook
Do you cover smaller places like Fulbrook?
Yes, Fulbrook is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can ventilation in schools around Fulbrook be cleaned out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Fulbrook. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How long will the unit be out of action?
The work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Bigger units can be phased, and you can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form to plan it.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
