How we handle AHU cleaning in Goff's Oak
If the units serving a building in Goff's Oak have only had filter changes for years, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full clean deals with all of it. The work covers filter sections, drain trays and heating and cooling coils, and the jobs we see most are dirty filters cutting the airflow and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs.
Smaller buildings around Goff's Oak often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, out of sight and easy to overlook. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

It takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. The unit’s size and condition make the biggest difference, and the quote will give you a clear idea.
What AHU cleaning looks like in Goff's Oak
There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities and about 8 care, childcare and hospital premises on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of central Goff's Oak. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. For Goff's Oak, the closest hospital is Chase Farm Hospital, roughly 3.2 miles south. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients. About 15 miles out from central London, Goff's Oak is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Goff's Oak, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Chase Farm Hospital (about 3.2 miles south).

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Goff's Oak, so let us know how to reach it.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Related advice
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can quote for both.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
What happens if it’s left?
A clean unit feeds cleaner air into the ductwork, so the whole system stays cleaner for longer. It also means the next inspection has less to find. Even a site near Goff's Oak that’s only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

Internal casing and panels
Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
Common problems we fix in Goff's Oak
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it does not always include cleaning the inside. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
For schools like Woodside Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
