AHU cleaning in Latchingdon
No two plant rooms are the same, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. We look at the unit first, from pictures or a site visit, and send you a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. If you’re dealing with condensate trays that won’t empty and air handling units never cleaned inside, we can help.
Work in a small place like Latchingdon starts with agreeing access and timings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Latchingdon knowing what to expect.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
Before we arrive

Advice
Questions from Latchingdon
Do you work at weekends in Latchingdon?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Latchingdon does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is Latchingdon in your area for AHU cleaning?
Yes, we work in Latchingdon and the places around it. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day of the survey details.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What’s TR19?
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 law, but it’s the benchmark.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What happens if it’s left?
When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the whole system stays cleaner for longer. It also means the next inspection has less to find. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

- Condensate trays that won’t empty

- Dirty fans and fan housings
Every job around Latchingdon ends with a record of what was cleaned and what was found.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Latchingdon
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- A single visit or a regular plan
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
