What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
About our AHU cleaning in Nackington
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, with the unit switched off and made safe first. Common call-outs are for dirty fans and fan housings and drain trays holding standing water, across supply and extract fans, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Nackington before we set off.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Nackington
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
Stick to the filter change schedule, because good filters protect everything downstream. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Nackington
Do you cover smaller places like Nackington?
Yes, Nackington is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work overnight in Nackington?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Nackington needn’t be disturbed. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How long will the unit be out of action?
Typically the clean takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. We plan the shutdown around that, out of hours if needed.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you repair air handling units?
AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. Any faults we notice are recorded so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. Cleaning the unit and ducts together often makes sense, and we can survey both on the same visit.
Leave it or put it right?
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 planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. Planning a trip to Nackington ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
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 any work starts.
