About our AHU cleaning in Heath End
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures in a report. Common call-outs are for dust-coated heating and cooling coils and condensate trays that won’t empty, across heating and cooling coils, internal panels and filter sections.
For a building in or near Heath End, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Drain trays
The drain tray collects water from the cooling coil. Standing water and slime are removed and the outlet is checked.
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. We photograph them for the report.
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Report water on the plant room floor
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, and note any part we couldn’t get to. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
What happens if it’s left?
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in Heath End can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the AHU cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Heath End run smoothly.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- 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.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
What a clean will not put right
AHU cleaning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- A system that’s undersized for the building
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
- Heating and cooling coils
- Dampers and louvres
- Drain trays
What AHU cleaning looks like in Heath End
There are about 6 schools, colleges and universities and about 8 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises on the FSA’s food hygiene register across Heath End and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. Heath End, about 47 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Park Prewett Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 5.9 miles south-east of Heath End. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital.
Healthcare buildings such as Park Prewett Hospital, about 5.9 miles south-east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Heath End, yours matters too.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Heath End?
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
If you manage a school such as The Hurst School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Do you repair air handling units?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We clean the unit and report anything we see that needs attention.

As a guide, it takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. We plan the shutdown around that, including evenings or weekends.
