AHU cleaning in Lee Chapel
If the units serving a building in Lee Chapel have only had filter changes for years, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. Typical jobs include odours coming through the supply air and plant that needs cleaning after a refit, across heating and cooling coils, filter sections and supply and extract fans.
For a building near Lee Chapel, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

When to call us in Lee Chapel
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.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Odours coming through the supply air
Wherever a school like St Anne Line Catholic Junior School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- What insurance they carry
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Fans and fan sections
Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
