About our AHU cleaning in Hartfield
If the units serving a building in Hartfield have only had filter changes for years, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full clean deals with all of it. The work covers dampers and louvres, filter sections and supply and extract fans, and people most often call us about plant that needs cleaning after a refit and dust-coated heating and cooling coils.
In a village or hamlet like Hartfield, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Hartfield: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Hartfield?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Hartfield keeps running as normal. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you do AHU cleaning in Hartfield?
Yes, we work in Hartfield and the places around it. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day of the survey details.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, and any sections we can’t reach are noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, including anything we think needs attention.
What affects the quote in Hartfield
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Building management system faults
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Filter sections
- Dampers and louvres
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.

Common problems we fix in Hartfield
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it doesn’t always include cleaning the inside. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
If you manage a school such as St Mary the Virgin Church of England Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
