AHU cleaning in Great Chart, done properly
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, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. Typical jobs include air handling units never cleaned inside and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake, on filter sections, drain trays and heating and cooling coils.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Can you get to a site in Great Chart?
Yes, Great Chart is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.

The work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Large plant can be split over several shifts, so call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email to talk it through.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Different parts, different methods
Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
When to call us in Great Chart
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Dust built up on fan impellers
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Great Chart Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive 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 before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Great Chart, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear the space around the work
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
