- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

AHU cleaning in Patchetts Green
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Patchetts Green and the rest of Hertfordshire, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. If you are dealing with leaves and litter drawn into the unit and odours coming through the supply air, we can put it right, from heating and cooling coils, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans onwards.
For a building in or near Patchetts Green, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Patchetts Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like Patchetts Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Patchetts Green is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work overnight in Patchetts Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Patchetts Green can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
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.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. We agree the timing with your site team.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Patchetts Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.

Different parts, different methods
Drain trays
Condensate from the coil drips into a tray beneath it. We clear standing water, clean out slime and check the outlet is draining.
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
AHU cleaning around Patchetts Green
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 16 schools, colleges and universities and about 8 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises serving food within about 1.5 miles of central Patchetts Green. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. About 16 miles out from central London, Patchetts Green is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. For Patchetts Green, the closest hospital is Watford General Hospital, roughly 2.5 miles south-west. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Watford General Hospital (about 2.5 miles south-west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts. If you manage a school such as Queens' School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, taking into account how dirty it was. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
What happens if it’s left?
If people in a building in Patchetts Green complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Patchetts Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
