How we handle AHU cleaning in Newgate Street
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins aren’t flattened. The work covers internal panels, drain trays and heating and cooling coils, and people most often call us about air handling units never cleaned inside and leaves and litter drawn into the unit.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
- Dampers and louvres
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
How the job changes from site to site
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
Drain trays
A tray that does not drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, based on what we found. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
