- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased, and we clear up before we go. Around Micklefield, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- 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.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
AHU cleaning in Micklefield
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. We are often asked to deal with condensate trays that won’t empty and stale or musty smells from the ventilation, on dampers and louvres, supply and extract fans and drain trays.
For a building near Micklefield, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The method does not change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Part by part
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe with your site team.
Drain trays
Condensate from the coil drips into a tray beneath it. Standing water and slime are removed and the outlet is checked.
When something else is needed
AHU cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Micklefield: your questions answered
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Micklefield in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 24 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Micklefield, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Micklefield?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Micklefield included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you clean the AHU out of hours?
Yes. We time the work to fit the building’s hours. Healthcare and care settings are planned with staff.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes 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.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate plus before and after pictures. Keep them in the maintenance log.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Micklefield

Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. Hospital of St John the Baptist is the nearest hospital, about 1.2 miles west of Micklefield.

Wherever a school like Kings Wood School and Nursery has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

- Drain trays holding standing water
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
