How the job changes from site to site
Drain trays
Older trays can corrode and start leaking. Their condition goes into the report with pictures so repairs can be planned.
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
AHU cleaning in Gushmere
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. The work covers heating and cooling coils, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres, and the jobs we see most are blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and dirty coils holding back the airflow.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Gushmere?
No filter stops everything. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, a little more each month.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
For schools like Selling Church of England Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due instead of leaving it to guesswork.
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Gushmere
Is Gushmere within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Gushmere is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you clean school ventilation in Gushmere during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Gushmere, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Can you clean without disrupting the building?
Yes, if daytime working isn’t practical. Tell us when the unit can go off and we will work to that.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. For a village or hamlet like Gushmere, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.

What AHU cleaning can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
