How we handle AHU cleaning in Privett
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. If you have dirty fans and fan housings and dirty filters cutting the airflow, we can put it right.
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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Somewhere as small as Privett, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Questions from Privett
Can you work in Privett outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Privett doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you offer AHU cleaning in Privett?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Privett included. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Which sectors do you work in?

Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
Expect it to take anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Size, layout and how dirty it is decide the rest, and we will confirm the time when we quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Privett

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

What AHU cleaning cannot fix
AHU cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Heating and cooling coils
- Internal panels
- Drain trays
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Make sure condensate is draining away
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can quote for both.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
