AHU cleaning in Guestling Green, done properly
Our AHU cleans for sites in Guestling Green cover the parts that collect dirt: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. If you’re dealing with air handling units due a clean after building work and stale or musty smells from the ventilation, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Guestling Green, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why deal with it now?
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, particularly where damp has made it stick. With notice, the visit to Guestling Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Why book with us
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- We diagnose before we treat
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. The timing of a visit to Guestling Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, taking into account how dirty it was. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What the work involves, part by part
Fans and fan sections
The fan section is cleaned with the unit switched off and isolated in agreement with the site.
Filters
Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. The filter section is cleaned so new or cleaned filters sit properly.
How we price AHU cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
