AHU cleaning in Leavenheath
Our AHU cleans for sites in Leavenheath cover the parts that collect dirt: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures in a report. If you are dealing with air handling units due a clean after building work and odours coming through the supply air, we can help, from filter sections, drain trays and heating and cooling coils 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. 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.

Leave it or put it right?
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in Leavenheath can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
When to call us in Leavenheath
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
For buildings in and around Leavenheath, TR19® Air cleaning starts with an inspection.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Leavenheath run smoothly.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear loose items from the work area
