AHU cleaning in Nether Street
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. The work covers supply and extract fans, internal panels and drain trays, and common reasons people get in touch are intake sections clogged with outdoor debris and dirty coils holding back the airflow.
For a building in or near Nether Street, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to confirm water is draining away.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. The timing of a visit to Nether Street is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Leave it or put it right?
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. The result is extra wear and a building that does not feel as comfortable, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Why us?
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Photo reports with every job
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Nether Street
Whatever surrounds a building in Nether Street, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. Most of it lands at the intake and the first stage of filters, and the finer material travels on.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Widford School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

Common questions in Nether Street
Do you cover smaller places like Nether Street?
Yes. Nether Street is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work at weekends in Nether Street?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Nether Street does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
TR19® Air takes a risk-based approach, so it depends on inspection rather than a fixed interval. We recommend a next date in each report.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How we price AHU cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
- Heating and cooling coils
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
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’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
