AHU cleaning in Lower Titmore Green, done properly
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. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. We are often asked to deal with dirty fans and fan housings and units that have only ever had filter changes, on drain trays, internal panels and heating and cooling coils.
Work in a small place like Lower Titmore Green starts with agreeing access and timings.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe with your site team.
Drain trays
A tray that does not drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
What we’re called out for in Lower Titmore Green
Filters that are not changed or cleaned on time clog up, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
School buildings such as Wymondley Junior Mixed and Infant School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.
