About our AHU cleaning in Mark Hall North
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Mark Hall North and the rest of Essex, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. Typical jobs include units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs, on internal panels, drain trays and dampers and louvres.
Smaller buildings around Mark Hall North often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, where they’re easy to forget. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Common problems we fix in Mark Hall North
Air handling units are usually tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
Hospitals such as Princess Alexandra Hospital (about 1.3 miles west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Mark Hall North are no different.

Part by part
Drain trays
Older trays can corrode and start leaking. Their condition goes into the report with photos so you can decide on any repairs.
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. We photograph them for the report.
What a clean won’t put right
AHU cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- Building management system faults
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.

How we price AHU cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. The shutdown is planned with whoever runs the building.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We clean the unit and report anything we see that needs attention.
Can you clean the AHU out of hours?
Yes, wherever it helps the building. Tell us when the unit can go off and we’ll work to that.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
All the internal parts the air touches, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. The photo report shows each section before and after.

What else we do in Mark Hall North
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. A site near Mark Hall North usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
If people in a building in Mark Hall North complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. A quieter site near Mark Hall North still needs its system looked after.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
