AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Glebe Farm
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so the report shows exactly what was done. If you have intake sections clogged with outdoor debris and air handling units with blocked filters, we can put it right.
Around a place like Glebe Farm, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
The report is your 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.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

Different parts, different methods
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. We photograph them for the report.
Heating and cooling coils
Heating and cooling coils have tightly packed fins that trap fine dust. We clean them with care so the fins are not damaged.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. In a smaller place like Glebe Farm, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Glebe Farm?
Air handling units are normally tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
Classrooms and halls at schools such as St Mary's Wavendon CofE Primary are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

Glebe Farm questions
Can you get to a site in Glebe Farm?
Yes, Glebe Farm is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work overnight in Glebe Farm?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Glebe Farm keeps running as normal. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. The fan must be stopped and the unit isolated, so we plan it for a time that suits the building.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Do you repair air handling units?
We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with pictures where it helps.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
