About our AHU cleaning in Potter's Green
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so the report shows exactly what was done. The work covers supply and extract fans, heating and cooling coils and dampers and louvres, and common reasons people get in touch are condensate trays that won’t empty and coils clogged with dust and debris.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Questions from Potter's Green
Can you get to a site in Potter's Green?
Yes, Potter's Green is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you cover Potter's Green for AHU cleaning?
Yes, Potter's Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Get in touch with the details and we’ll arrange a survey.
Can you clean the AHU out of hours?
Yes, wherever it helps the building. We plan the shutdown window with you.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. The shutdown is planned with whoever runs the building.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How long will the unit be out of action?
The work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Large plant can be split over several shifts, and you can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email to plan it.
What do you clean inside the unit?
The main parts are the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and inside of the casing. We confirm the scope after looking at the unit.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Dampers and louvres
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
Do you need AHU cleaning in Potter's Green?
An AHU’s intake draws in outdoor air and everything in it: dust, pollen, leaves and debris. Most of it lands at the intake and the first stage of filters, and the finer material travels on.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
If you run an office near Buxted station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, and note any part we couldn’t get to. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.

How the job changes from site to site

Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. The intake section gets particular attention.
Internal casing and panels
We open each section through its doors and close them securely when we’re done before the unit is handed back.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. The timing of a visit to Potter's Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
