About our AHU cleaning in Leckhampstead
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, right in the path of the air going into the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. If you’re dealing with drain trays holding standing water and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Leckhampstead, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The times the site is available
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Want a quote for AHU cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site. We will talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
Stick to the filter change schedule, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
Leckhampstead: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Leckhampstead?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Leckhampstead included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you cover Leckhampstead for AHU cleaning?
Yes, Leckhampstead is covered. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few pictures of the system.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes, the ductwork, grilles and diffusers the unit serves. We will tell you after the survey whether the ducts need it.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate plus before and after photos. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. We can’t clean a running unit, so it’s switched off and made safe first. We agree the timing with your site team.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Different parts, different methods
Drain trays
A tray that doesn’t drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and note if the slope or the drain needs attention.
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Somewhere as small as Leckhampstead, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

What a clean will not put right
AHU cleaning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
What we’re called out for in Leckhampstead
No filter stops everything. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, building up layer by layer.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
In Leckhampstead, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
Why deal with it now?
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in Leckhampstead can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Leckhampstead rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Why us?
- We diagnose before we treat
- In business since 2009
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- Full insurance on every job
