AHU cleaning in Little Ickford
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, right in the path of the air going into the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. The work covers heating and cooling coils, supply and extract fans and drain trays, and the jobs we see most are units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and stale or musty smells from the ventilation.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Stick to the filter change plan
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we have finished. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to confirm water is draining away.
Don’t let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
Different parts, different methods
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
When to call us in Little Ickford
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, building up layer by layer.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
For schools like Ickford School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
What your quote should include
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How VAT is shown on the quote
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

The process
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Little Ickford and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

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.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
