About our AHU cleaning in Nup End Green
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with photos, so the report shows exactly what was done. Common call-outs are for air handling units with blocked filters and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, on drain trays, heating and cooling coils and dampers and louvres.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What happens if it’s left?
Tenants, auditors and owners may want proof that the air handling plant is kept clean. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Nup End Green is calmer for everyone.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will explain what it covers.

What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the AHU cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Somewhere as small as Nup End Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- 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.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Many AHUs sit on roofs or in plant rooms with limited access. Access is planned during the survey so the quote reflects it.
Internal casing and panels
Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. We note any we find in the report.
What affects the quote in Nup End Green
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Questions from Nup End Green
Will you come out to Nup End Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Nup End Green included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you clean school ventilation in Nup End Green during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Nup End Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes, for the time we’re working on it. Out-of-hours work is available so the building isn’t left without ventilation when it’s busy.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Can you clean without disrupting the building?
Yes, if daytime working is not practical. We plan the shutdown window with you.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, based on what we found. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.

There are about 3 care, childcare and hospital premises on the FSA’s food hygiene register within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Nup End Green. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. At about 26 miles from central London, Nup End Green sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. About 4.1 miles north of Nup End Green is Lister Hospital, the nearest hospital. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When to call us in Nup End Green
Filters that aren’t changed or cleaned on time clog up, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
Hospitals such as Lister Hospital (about 4.1 miles north) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Nup End Green are no different.
What to look for in a quote
