About our AHU cleaning in Mount Pleasant
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, right in the path of the air going into the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. The work covers drain trays, dampers and louvres and filter sections, and the jobs we see most are fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and plant that needs cleaning after a refit.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
Internal casing and panels
Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. Anything like that is recorded with photos.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Mount Pleasant
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Why deal with it now?
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt does not stay put. It moves on into the ductwork and out into the rooms, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. In a place like Mount Pleasant, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. The timing of a visit to Mount Pleasant is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Book the next check in line with the report
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, 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.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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, alongside our reports.
