AHU cleaning in Northbridge Street
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, right in the path of the air going into the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. The work covers filter sections, dampers and louvres and drain trays, and people most often call us about rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake.
For a building in or near Northbridge Street, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what AHU cleaning won’t do:
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Drain trays
- Filter sections

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Stick to the filter change plan
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we’ve finished. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to confirm water is draining away.
Don’t let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in Northbridge Street can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Northbridge Street rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Different parts, different methods
Rooftop and plant room units
Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. The intake section gets particular attention.
Heating and cooling coils
Cooling coils stay damp in use, so dirt on them can turn sticky. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Northbridge Street
An AHU’s intake draws in outdoor air and everything in it: dust, pollen, leaves and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and some travels further into the unit.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
If you manage a school such as Salehurst Church of England Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
