What we’re called out for in Hawbush Green
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, a little more each month.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like William Julien Courtauld Hospital (about 2.7 miles north-west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

Common questions in Hawbush Green
Do you work in villages like Hawbush Green?
Yes, Hawbush Green is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you clean school ventilation in Hawbush Green during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Hawbush Green. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Can you clean the AHU out of hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and weekends, so offices, schools and shops can carry on.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes, for the time we are working on it. We can work evenings, overnight or at weekends so the building is not left without ventilation when it’s busy.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
When it’s something else
AHU cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

AHU cleaning around Hawbush Green

Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. About 2.7 miles north-west of Hawbush Green is William Julien Courtauld Hospital, the nearest hospital. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.

If you manage a school such as Cressing Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays. Workplaces around Cressing station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.

Different parts, different methods
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. The intake section gets particular attention.
Filters
Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. The filter section is cleaned so new or cleaned filters sit properly.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Somewhere like Hawbush Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Stick to the filter change plan
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, taking into account how dirty it was. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
How we price AHU cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
