AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lower Common
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, right in the path of the air going into the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. We’re often asked to deal with condensate trays that won’t empty and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake, across heating and cooling coils, supply and extract fans and filter sections.
In a village or hamlet like Lower Common, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. They’re cleaned using methods that will not bend or flatten the fins.
Filters
Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. The filter section is cleaned so new or cleaned filters sit properly.
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
When we’ve closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to make sure it stays clear.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.

What staff can safely do
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, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Building management system faults
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- A system that is undersized for the building
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils

How we price AHU cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- 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 previous report or certificate
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
