- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Odours coming through the supply air
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Stick to the filter change plan
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.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Newbridge
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with pictures, so the report shows exactly what was done. Common call-outs are for intake sections clogged with outdoor debris and dirty coils holding back the airflow, on drain trays, filter sections and supply and extract fans.
For a building in or near Newbridge, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What happens if it’s left?
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. In a place like Newbridge, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Newbridge: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Newbridge?
Yes, Newbridge is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can a school’s ventilation in Newbridge be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Newbridge, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Can you clean the AHU out of hours?
Yes, wherever it helps the building. Tell us when the unit can go off and we’ll work to that.
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Newbridge run smoothly.
- 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.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work

Do you need AHU cleaning in Newbridge?
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in Newbridge, that’s air they breathe for hours at a time.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Newbridge, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Tatchbury Mount Hospital (about 2.1 miles east).

- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a survey comes first
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
