AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Maple End
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with pictures, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. The work covers dampers and louvres, internal panels and filter sections, and people most often call us about leaves and litter drawn into the unit and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Make sure condensate is draining away
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can quote for both.
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.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

When to call us in Maple End
Whatever surrounds a building in Maple End, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and some travels further into the unit.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Maple End, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Saffron Walden Community Hospital (about 3 miles west).
Before you book anyone
- What insurance they carry
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What hours they’ll be on site
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
Part by part
Internal casing and panels
Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Maple End
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. In a small place like Maple End, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
