AHU cleaning in High Roding
Our AHU cleans for sites in High Roding cover the parts that collect dirt: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after photos in a report. We’re often asked to deal with dust-coated heating and cooling coils and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake, across dampers and louvres, filter sections and supply and extract fans.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
Leave it or put it right?
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
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 are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Managing agents and facilities teams in High Roding
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Common questions in High Roding
Can you work in High Roding outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in High Roding can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you cover High Roding for AHU cleaning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and High Roding is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we will arrange a survey.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Do you work with multi-site operators?

What types of premises do you cover?

What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in High Roding
Air handling units are usually tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings, so they’re easy to forget about. It’s easy for a long time to go by without anyone opening the panels.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
Whether the building is in High Roding itself or nearby, filters, coils, drain trays and ducts are all part of the work.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Proof of insurance
Different parts, different methods
Drain trays
A tray that doesn’t drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and note if the slope or the drain needs attention.
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.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to High Roding and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- 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
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
