How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Visits to a village like High Hurstwood are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

How we handle AHU cleaning in High Hurstwood
Our AHU cleans for sites in High Hurstwood cover the parts that collect dirt: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. If you’re dealing with dirty filters cutting the airflow and dirty coils holding back the airflow, we can put it right, from heating and cooling coils, filter sections and drain trays onwards.
Work in a small place like High Hurstwood starts with agreeing access and timings.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Internal casing and panels
Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. Anything like that is recorded with pictures.
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.
Questions from High Hurstwood
Do you work in villages like High Hurstwood?

Can you do AHU cleaning in High Hurstwood?

Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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 the report can go to both.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
Common problems we fix in High Hurstwood
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.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
Classrooms and halls at schools such as High Hurstwood Church of England Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Stick to the filter change plan
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, based on what we found. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
What affects the quote in High Hurstwood
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
