About our AHU cleaning in Markbeech
An air handling unit is the heart of a building’s ventilation: air is pulled in, filtered, conditioned and sent out through the ducts. Anything that collects inside the unit can end up in the rooms it serves, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. If you’re dealing with rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, we can help.
For a building in or near Markbeech, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
What we’re called out for in Markbeech
Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids, so they’re easy to forget about. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
Queen Victoria Hospital, about 5.2 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Markbeech, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.

Yes. You get a TR19® certificate plus before and after pictures. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.

How the job changes from site to site
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
Fans and fan sections
Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
- Drain trays
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Somewhere like Markbeech, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
