Essex · Air handling unit cleaning
High Easter AHU cleaning
AHU cleaning across High Easter and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Visits to a village like High Easter are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

How we handle AHU cleaning in High Easter
Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: it draws air in, filters it, heats or cools it and pushes it round the ductwork. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. If you have units that have only ever had filter changes and plant that needs cleaning after a refit, we can put it right, from heating and cooling coils, filter sections and drain trays onwards.
For a building in or near High Easter, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, based on what we found. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
High Easter buildings and their air
About 29 miles out from central London, High Easter is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Broomfield Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 5.1 miles south-east of High Easter. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
When to call us in High Easter
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray does not fall properly, water stands in it, and slime and smells soon follow.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
Broomfield Hospital, about 5.1 miles south-east, is the nearest hospital to High Easter, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Different parts, different methods
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. They’re cleaned using methods that will not bend or flatten the fins.
Fans and fan sections
The fan section is cleaned with the unit switched off and isolated in agreement with the site.
