How we handle AHU cleaning in Glynde
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins aren’t flattened. If you are dealing with condensate trays that won’t empty and odours coming through the supply air, we can put it right, from drain trays, filter sections and dampers and louvres onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Glynde run smoothly.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote

How we price AHU cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Places near Glynde
What else we do in Glynde
Part by part
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. We clean the impeller, housing and surrounding section.
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. Anything like that is recorded with pictures.
Why deal with it now?
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt does not stay put. It moves on into the ductwork and out into the rooms, which is why the unit and the ducts are best cleaned together. Somewhere as small as Glynde, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

As a guide, it takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. The shutdown is planned to fit, out of hours if needed.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
Under TR19® Air, cleaning is led by inspection and risk rather than a set calendar. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you repair air handling units?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We will flag anything we notice during the clean.
