What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
AHU cleaning in Holme Green
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins are not flattened. The work covers heating and cooling coils, internal panels and filter sections, and people most often call us about air handling units due a clean after building work and air handling units with blocked filters.
Somewhere as small as Holme Green, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Why it’s worth doing now in Holme Green
Standing water in a drain tray doesn’t clear itself. 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. It’s simpler to plan the work at Holme Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Holme Green
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Common problems we fix in Holme Green
Filters that aren’t changed or cleaned on time clog up, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Floreat Montague Park Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Holme Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area

What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What do you clean inside the unit?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. The photo report shows each section before and after.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. We agree the timing with your site team.
What the work involves, part by part
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe with your site team.
Rooftop and plant room units
Many AHUs sit on roofs or in plant rooms with limited access. We plan safe access as part of the survey so the quote reflects it.
