AHU cleaning in Little Bentley, 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. The work covers dampers and louvres, supply and extract fans and heating and cooling coils, and common reasons people get in touch are dirty coils holding back the airflow and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years.
For a building in or near Little Bentley, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
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, with full insurance on top.

What a clean will not put right
AHU cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
- Dampers and louvres
- Supply and extract fans
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due, rather than waiting for a problem.

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. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Different parts, different methods
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe in agreement with the site.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the AHU cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Visits to a village like Little Bentley are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. The result is extra wear and a building that does not feel as comfortable, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. Planning a trip to Little Bentley ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
