AHU cleaning in North Street
If the units serving a building in North Street have only had filter changes for years, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full clean deals with all of it. If you are dealing with dirty filters cutting the airflow and coils clogged with dust and debris, we can put it right, from supply and extract fans, drain trays and filter sections onwards.
Somewhere as small as North Street, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

North Street: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like North Street?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and North Street is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come to North Street after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in North Street can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate plus before and after pictures. Keep them in the maintenance log.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you quote from photos?
Often, 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.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, and new panels can be fitted.
Do you repair air handling units?
We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with pictures where it helps.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to make sure it stays clear.
Don’t let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
AHU cleaning around North Street
At about 45 miles from central London, North Street sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Wherever a school like Sheldwich Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time. For buildings in and around North Street, TR19® Air cleaning starts with an inspection.

In-house cleaning or 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.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in North Street before we set off.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Part by part
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. We photograph them for the report.
Internal casing and panels
We open each section through its doors and close them securely when we are done, and check every one is shut.
What AHU cleaning cannot fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what AHU cleaning will not do:
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Building management system faults
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in North Street
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
Leave it or put it right?
Standing water in a drain tray does not 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. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Managing agents and facilities teams in North Street
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
