What we’re called out for in Newtown
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For the people using the building every day, that’s the air they breathe for hours on end.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
For schools like East Stour Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

About our AHU cleaning in Newtown
Where a building in Newtown has had little more than filter changes, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. Common call-outs are for filters that are clogged or overdue and drain trays holding standing water, across heating and cooling coils, filter sections and dampers and louvres.
In a smaller place like Newtown, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What the work involves, part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Newtown and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Newtown.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

When something else is needed
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- A system that is undersized for the building
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
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.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
Leave it or put it right?
Dirt left in an air handling unit doesn’t stay in the unit. It moves on into the ductwork and out into the rooms, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. A site near Newtown that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Newtown questions
Do you work in villages like Newtown?
Yes. Newtown is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work overnight in Newtown?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Do you repair air handling units?
The clean includes noting faults, but repairs sit with your maintenance contractor, with photos where it helps.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
