- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones, and we clear up before we go. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Monkey Street and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

About our AHU cleaning in Monkey Street
No two plant rooms are the same, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. We look at the unit first, from pictures or a site visit, and give you a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. Typical jobs include units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and air handling units never cleaned inside, on heating and cooling coils, filter sections and drain trays.
Work in a small place like Monkey Street starts with agreeing access and timings.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How the job changes from site to site
Drain trays
Condensate from the coil drips into a tray beneath it. We clear standing water, clean out slime and check the outlet is draining.
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, taking into account how dirty it was. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due instead of leaving it to guesswork.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced 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.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Monkey Street
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Dirty fans and fan housings
In Monkey Street, supply and extract ducts are cleaned along with the units that serve them.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
