AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hatfield Peverel
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, with the unit switched off and made safe first. Typical jobs include condensate trays that won’t empty and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, across heating and cooling coils, dampers and louvres and internal panels.
For a building near Hatfield Peverel, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Your opening hours decide when we come to Hatfield Peverel, not ours.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Hatfield Peverel buildings and their air
Food Standards Agency records list about 7 care, childcare and hospital premises registered as food businesses across Hatfield Peverel and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. About 5.1 miles south-west of Hatfield Peverel is Priory Hospital, the nearest hospital. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too. Hatfield Peverel, about 35 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Wherever a school like Hatfield Peverel St Andrew's Junior School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Hatfield Peverel, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Priory Hospital (about 5.1 miles south-west). Workplaces around Hatfield Peverel station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, based on what we found. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
Part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
Filters
Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
