How we handle AHU cleaning in Isington
An air handling unit is the heart of a building’s ventilation: it draws air in, filters it, heats or cools it and pushes it round the ductwork. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. If you are dealing with odours coming through the supply air and plant that needs cleaning after a refit, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Isington starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, taking into account how dirty it was. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.

What else we do in Isington
Common problems we fix in Isington
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 some travels further into the unit.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
If you manage shops or offices close to Bentley (Hampshire) station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What AHU cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Visits to a village like Isington are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Questions from Isington
Do you offer AHU cleaning in Isington?
Yes, Isington is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with a few details of the site.
Do you work in villages like Isington?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Isington included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
Under TR19® Air, cleaning is led by inspection and risk rather than a set calendar. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.

Part by part
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.
Heating and cooling coils
Heating and cooling coils have tightly packed fins that trap fine dust. They’re cleaned using methods that won’t bend or flatten the fins.
