About our AHU cleaning in Hadleigh
Our AHU cleans for sites in Hadleigh cover the parts that collect dirt: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. If you have debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and odours coming through the supply air, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Hadleigh, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Hadleigh
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
If you need AHU cleaning in Hadleigh, call 0345 646 2711 or email us. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Hadleigh questions
Do you clean school ventilation in Hadleigh in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Hadleigh, the Food Standards Agency lists about 6 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you work in villages like Hadleigh?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How long does an AHU clean take?
Cleaning takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Bigger units can be phased, and you can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos to plan it.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Filter sections
- Dampers and louvres
- Internal panels
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Supply and extract fans
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something 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.

What the work involves, part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. We protect the area below before opening them.
Drain trays
Condensate from the coil drips into a tray beneath it. Standing water and slime are removed and the outlet is checked.
What we are called out for in Hadleigh
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it does not always include cleaning the inside. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
Wherever a school like Hadleigh Junior School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
