About our AHU cleaning in Hurst Green
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with photos, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. If you have drain trays holding standing water and dirty filters cutting the airflow, we can put it right, from filter sections, dampers and louvres and drain trays onwards.
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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the AHU cleaning, clear away 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. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Hurst Green.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
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.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Hurst Green?
An AHU’s intake draws in outdoor air and everything in it: dust, pollen, leaves and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and the finer material travels on.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Air handling units with blocked filters
School buildings such as Hurst Green Infant School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- When the next visit should be, and why
Part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Heating and cooling coils have tightly packed fins that trap fine dust. They’re cleaned using methods that will not bend or flatten the fins.
Drain trays
Condensate from the coil drips into a tray beneath it. We clear standing water, clean out slime and check the outlet is draining.
Why deal with it now?
A clean unit feeds cleaner air into the ductwork, so the whole system stays cleaner for longer. It also means the next inspection has less to find. Somewhere as small as Hurst Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
