AHU cleaning in Penn Street
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with pictures, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. The work covers drain trays, filter sections and supply and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and air handling units due a clean after building work.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Part by part
Fans and fan sections
Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. They’re cleaned using methods that won’t bend or flatten the fins.
How we price AHU cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Want a quote for AHU cleaning? Please call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with a few details about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
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 cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
Stick to the filter change schedule, because good filters protect everything downstream. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.

How the visit works

What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.

We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
Typically the clean takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. The shutdown is planned to fit, out of hours if needed.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes, supply and extract ducts, grilles and diffusers. We’ll tell you after the survey whether the ducts need it.
When to call us in Penn Street
Filters that aren’t changed or cleaned on time clog up, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
For schools like Curzon Church of England Combined School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
