Can you do AHU cleaning in Margaretting Tye?
Yes, we work in Margaretting Tye and the places around it. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and let us know what needs doing.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. The fan must be stopped and the unit isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
Do you repair air handling units?
The clean includes noting faults, but repairs sit with your maintenance contractor, with the details in the report.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
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.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report also suggests when the unit should next be inspected.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Margaretting Tye
No two plant rooms are the same, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. Every job starts with a survey, from pictures or on site, followed by a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. The work covers filter sections, heating and cooling coils and dampers and louvres, and the jobs we see most are units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and stale or musty smells from the ventilation.
Somewhere as small as Margaretting Tye, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Building management system faults
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. For a village or hamlet like Margaretting Tye, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Different parts, different methods
Drain trays
Drain trays can rust and leak over time. We record their condition with photos so you can decide on any repairs.
Internal casing and panels
Access doors and panels are opened in turn and closed properly afterwards before the unit is handed back.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Margaretting Tye?
An AHU’s intake draws in outdoor air and everything in it: dust, pollen, leaves and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and the finer material travels on.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
For schools like Anglo European School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
What to look for in a quote
- What insurance they carry
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
How we price AHU cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
