AHU cleaning in Mayland
No two plant rooms are the same, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. Every job starts with a survey, from photos or on site, followed by a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. We’re often asked to deal with leaves and litter drawn into the unit and dirty filters cutting the airflow, on supply and extract fans, drain trays and internal panels.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, because good filters protect everything downstream. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.

The process
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 it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Mayland.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit

- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

Different parts, different methods
Filters
Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. We check them, and clean or change them as agreed in the quote, and the housing around them is cleaned too.
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Questions from Mayland
Is Mayland in your area for AHU cleaning?
Yes, we work in Mayland and the places around it. Get in touch with the details and we’ll arrange a survey.
Will you come out to Mayland?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Mayland included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Mayland?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Mayland?
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
Around Mayland, as anywhere, ventilation cleaning begins with an inspection.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Proof of insurance
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
