How we handle AHU cleaning in Lynsted
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures in a report. Common call-outs are for dirty filters cutting the airflow and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays, on filter sections, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres.
For a building in or near Lynsted, 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
If you need AHU cleaning in Lynsted, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, along with anything we couldn’t reach. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
Different parts, different methods
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.
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Lynsted before we set off.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

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’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Questions from Lynsted
Do you clean school ventilation in Lynsted in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Lynsted, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Can you get to a site in Lynsted?
Yes, Lynsted is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do you repair air handling units?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. Any faults we notice are recorded for your maintenance team to follow up.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
There’s no single answer; it comes down to the building and the unit. Regular inspection shows when it’s due, and we’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
