- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Stick to the filter change plan
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, taking into account how dirty it was. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
AHU cleaning in Grafty Green, done properly
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 odours coming through the supply air and dirty coils holding back the airflow, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Grafty Green, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Grafty Green
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and slime and smells soon follow.
What we are most often called out for:
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
Around Grafty Green, as anywhere, ventilation cleaning begins with an inspection.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. 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 Grafty Green.
- 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.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. We protect the area below before opening them.
Internal casing and panels
Access doors and panels are opened in turn and closed properly afterwards, and check every one is shut.
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
- Heating and cooling coils
- Dampers and louvres
What happens if it’s left?
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. In a small place like Grafty Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
