AHU Cleaning in Newfound

- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
Why act early in Newfound
Standing water in a drain tray doesn’t clear itself. 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 small place like Newfound, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

How we handle AHU cleaning in Newfound
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins aren’t flattened. The work covers internal panels, dampers and louvres and drain trays, and people most often call us about air handling units due a clean after building work and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
If you need AHU cleaning in Newfound, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can survey both.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
Newfound: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Newfound?
Yes, Newfound is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come to Newfound after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. The fan must be stopped and the unit isolated, so we plan it for a time that suits the building.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. Any faults we notice are recorded for your maintenance team to follow up.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, with new panels fitted where needed.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
The main parts are the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and inside of the casing. We confirm the scope after looking at the unit.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Visits to a village like Newfound are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Advice
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Internal panels
- Heating and cooling coils
- Dampers and louvres
- Supply and extract fans
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
Different parts, different methods
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.
Drain trays
The drain tray collects water from the cooling coil. We clear standing water, clean out slime and check the outlet is draining.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

What AHU cleaning looks like in Newfound
There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities and about 5 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of central Newfound. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. We cover Newfound, about 49 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. About 2.6 miles north-east of Newfound is Park Prewett Hospital, the nearest hospital. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.
Wherever a school like Oakley Infant School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Newfound, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Park Prewett Hospital (about 2.6 miles north-east).
