About our AHU cleaning in Plaxtol
Our AHU cleans for sites in Plaxtol cover the parts that collect dirt: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures in a report. If you’re dealing with plant that needs cleaning after a refit and condensate trays that won’t empty, we can help, from drain trays, filter sections and dampers and louvres onwards.
Work in a small place like Plaxtol starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
What affects the quote in Plaxtol
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Why act early in Plaxtol
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt does not stay put. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Plaxtol is calmer for everyone.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Plaxtol knowing what to expect.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
