How we handle AHU cleaning in Holton Hill
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, right in the path of the air going into the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. Typical jobs include dirty filters cutting the airflow and plant that needs cleaning after a refit, across heating and cooling coils, filter sections and dampers and louvres.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. The timing of a visit to Holton Hill is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

What else we do in Holton Hill
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- A system that’s undersized for the building
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What we are called out for in Holton Hill
Air handling units are typically tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Burwash CofE School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

Leave it or put it right?
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, especially where there’s been moisture. With notice, the visit to Holton Hill can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
TR19® Air takes a risk-based approach, so it depends on inspection rather than a fixed interval. We recommend a next date in each report.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
All the internal parts the air touches, from intake to discharge, including coils, fan and drain trays. The photo report shows each section before and after.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How the job changes from site to site
Fans and fan sections
The fan section is cleaned with the unit switched off and isolated with your site team.
Internal casing and panels
We open each section through its doors and close them securely when we are done, and check every one is shut.
