How the job changes from site to site
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and clean the filter housing.
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. We note any we find in the report.
About our AHU cleaning in Margaret Roding
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, right in the path of the air going into the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. The work covers dampers and louvres, drain trays and supply and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are dust built up on fan impellers and coils clogged with dust and debris.
Work in a small place like Margaret Roding starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a small place like Margaret Roding, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
What AHU cleaning can’t fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what AHU cleaning won’t do:
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
- Filter sections
- Dampers and louvres
- Internal panels
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due, rather than waiting for a problem.
What affects the quote in Margaret Roding
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Margaret Roding and across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Questions from Margaret Roding
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Margaret Roding in the summer 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 Margaret Roding, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can the work in Margaret Roding be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Margaret Roding does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
How long does an AHU clean take?
As a guide, it takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. We plan the shutdown around that, out of hours if needed.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
The main parts are the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and inside of the casing. The survey confirms what’s in your unit before we quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
