How we handle AHU cleaning in Maltman's Hill
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. Common call-outs are for blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, across filter sections, supply and extract fans and internal panels.
For a building in or near Maltman's Hill, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What the work involves, part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Cooling coils stay damp in use, so dirt on them can turn sticky. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. We photograph them for the report.

How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Somewhere like Maltman's Hill, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Maltman's Hill
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
In Maltman's Hill, supply and extract ducts are cleaned along with the units that serve them.

What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Building management system faults
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Dampers and louvres
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
