AHU cleaning in Pembles Cross, done properly
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. Typical jobs include dirty filters cutting the airflow and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs, on supply and extract fans, drain trays and dampers and louvres.
Somewhere as small as Pembles Cross, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
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. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t 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.

How we price AHU cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
For AHU cleaning in Pembles Cross, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Pembles Cross, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- 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, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Pembles Cross
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and slime and smells soon follow.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Dust built up on fan impellers
Ventilation work in and around Pembles Cross is risk-based: inspect, then clean what needs it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
Why deal with it now?
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. The result is extra wear and a building that doesn’t feel as comfortable, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. With notice, the visit to Pembles Cross can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Pembles Cross questions
Can you get to a site in Pembles Cross?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work at weekends in Pembles Cross?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Pembles Cross can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, with any faults we noticed.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
The main parts are the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and inside of the casing. We confirm the scope after looking at the unit.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
