Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
AHU cleaning in Little Almshoe, done properly
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, with the unit switched off and made safe first. Common call-outs are for dust built up on fan impellers and air handling units never cleaned inside, on filter sections, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres.
For a building in or near Little Almshoe, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Little Almshoe?
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in Little Almshoe, that is air they breathe for hours at a time.
What we are most often called out for:
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
For schools like St Ippolyts Church of England Aided Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

Different parts, different methods
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. We photograph them for the report.
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.

- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Little Almshoe run smoothly.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
