AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Mockbeggar
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. If you have dirty fans and fan housings and leaves and litter drawn into the unit, we can help, from internal panels, dampers and louvres and drain trays onwards.
For a building in or near Mockbeggar, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. The timing of a visit to Mockbeggar is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures 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.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
When we’ve closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to confirm water is draining away.
Don’t let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
FAQs for Mockbeggar
Can a school’s ventilation in Mockbeggar be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 7 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Mockbeggar. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you work in Mockbeggar outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Mockbeggar needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can survey both on the same visit.
When something else is needed
AHU cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Filter sections
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
What staff can safely do
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.
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.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Mockbeggar
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Leave it or put it right?
Standing water in a drain tray does not clear itself. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
