AHU cleaning in Mountnessing
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Mountnessing and the rest of Essex, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. We are often asked to deal with fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and air handling units due a clean after building work, across internal panels, drain trays and supply and extract fans.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Mountnessing
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Mountnessing and across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Why act early in Mountnessing
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Filters
Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. The filter section is cleaned so new or cleaned filters sit properly.
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. Anything like that is recorded with photos.

Questions from Mountnessing
Can the work in Mountnessing be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Mountnessing needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you clean school ventilation in Mountnessing during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 7 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Mountnessing, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you work in Mountnessing?
Yes. We cover Mountnessing and across Essex, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What do you clean inside the unit?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
