What we are called out for in Nash Mills
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it doesn’t always include cleaning the inside. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Dust built up on fan impellers
If you manage shops or offices close to Apsley station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.
Before you book anyone
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Nash Mills
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. We look at the unit first, from pictures or a site visit, and give you a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. If you have plant that needs cleaning after a refit and leaves and litter drawn into the unit, we can help, from heating and cooling coils, dampers and louvres and drain trays onwards.
Visits to a place like Nash Mills are fitted around opening hours. The method doesn’t change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Nash Mills
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Nash Mills, so let us know how to reach it.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Nash Mills
Is Nash Mills within the area you cover?
Yes, Nash Mills is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you clean school ventilation in Nash Mills during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 15 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Nash Mills, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
All the internal parts the air touches, from intake to discharge, including coils, fan and drain trays. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. We agree the timing with your site team.

Different parts, different methods
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. We clean the impeller, housing and surrounding section.
Filters
Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
