About our AHU cleaning in Fuller Street
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, with the unit switched off and made safe first. The work covers filter sections, supply and extract fans and heating and cooling coils, and common reasons people get in touch are dust built up on fan impellers and stale or musty smells from the ventilation.
For a building in or near Fuller Street, 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.
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 and sits alongside the report.

Leave it or put it right?
Dirt left in an air handling unit doesn’t stay in the unit. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will explain what it covers.

What the work involves, part by part
Drain trays
Older trays can corrode and start leaking. Their condition goes into the report with pictures so repairs can be planned.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
What we are called out for in Fuller Street
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it doesn’t always include cleaning the inside. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Broomfield Hospital (about 4.1 miles south-west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to make sure it stays clear.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Fuller Street.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Related advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes, while the clean is under way. We can work evenings, overnight or at weekends so the building is not left without ventilation when it’s busy.
What accreditations do you have?

What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
How long does an AHU clean take?
It takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Size, layout and how dirty it is decide the rest, and we will confirm the time when we quote.
