AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Peel Common
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, with the unit switched off and made safe first. Common call-outs are for dirty coils holding back the airflow and air handling units never cleaned inside, across supply and extract fans, drain trays and dampers and louvres.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. For a village or hamlet like Peel Common, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Dirt left in an air handling unit doesn’t stay in the unit. It moves on into the ductwork and out into the rooms, which is why the unit and the ducts are best cleaned together. A fault that closes a site in a village like Peel Common affects everyone who depends on it.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Peel Common?
No filter stops everything. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, a little more each month.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Dirty fans and fan housings
If you manage a school such as Peel Common Junior School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What staff can safely do
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.

Peel Common questions
Do you work overnight in Peel Common?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Peel Common does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Peel Common?
Yes, Peel Common is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report also suggests when the unit should next be inspected.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What do you clean inside the unit?
We clean the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and internal casing. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.

How the job changes from site to site
Filters
Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
Heating and cooling coils
Cooling coils stay damp in use, so dirt on them can turn sticky. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.
