AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Newtown
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after photos in a report. If you’re dealing with leaves and litter drawn into the unit and dirty fans and fan housings, we can put it right.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
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 make sure it stays clear.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Newtown, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- 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.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes, supply and extract ducts, grilles and diffusers. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.

Can you fix a faulty AHU?
AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.

Every section that collects dirt: filters, coils, tray, fan and panels. We confirm the scope after looking at the unit.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. We agree the timing with your site team.

When to call us in Newtown
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
School buildings such as Hever Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
