Part by part
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. We clean them with care so the fins aren’t damaged.
AHU cleaning in Hangleton, done properly
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, right in the path of the air going into the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. If you’re dealing with debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and coils clogged with dust and debris, we can put it right.
Visits to a place like Hangleton are fitted around opening hours. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Questions from Hangleton
Do you work overnight in Hangleton?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Hangleton keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you clean school ventilation in Hangleton during the holidays?

What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes, for the time we are working on it. Out-of-hours work is available to keep disruption down.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What we do, step by step
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Everything the job in Hangleton needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- 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 photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
Do you need AHU cleaning in Hangleton?
Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids, so they’re easy to forget about. It’s easy for a long time to go by without anyone opening the panels.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
If you manage a school such as Hangleton Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
