AHU cleaning in Oad Street
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. The work covers supply and extract fans, filter sections and drain trays, and people most often call us about debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and dirty fans and fan housings.
For a building in or near Oad Street, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

FAQs for Oad Street
Do you work at weekends in Oad Street?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Oad Street can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can you get to a site in Oad Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
TR19® Air takes a risk-based approach, so it depends on inspection rather than a fixed interval. We recommend a next date in each report.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What we are called out for in Oad Street
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it doesn’t always include cleaning the inside. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
If you manage a school such as Borden Church of England Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
Before you book anyone
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Visits to a village like Oad Street are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

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 they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Building management system faults
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
How the job changes from site to site
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
